Steve,
Thanks very much for the pic. I have never seen a Minneapolis Pencraft before.
I do have several Chicago pens. In 1918, George listed his employer as Pencraft
and by 1920 he was apparently the owner (in Chicago).
There are really good threads at Lion & Pen with most of everything known about
Kraker posted by myself and others.
Regards,
Dennis B
