Hi Steve:
The Edison Standard line ended just above serial number 820000. At the end of production the Standard E with either the Diamond B or N was stamped Model G... BUT this was only a very few machines and that is why they are so rare. The Standard E 4 minute only machine with the Diamond B and #10 Cygnet horn went all the way up through the mid 818000's. The ICS 2 minute Model C was made until the last and Standard Ds and Es were converted to ICS 2 minute players along the way. The serial numbers were intertwined for maximum confusion today. The highest Standard E with an N Reproducer I have in my 'field study' is 816325 and the N is serial #95759. I own N s/n A24 which was not with a machine when I bought it. Steve, have you seen any Ns with a higher number? And now an open question for the list members, does anyone have a Standard over 818000? What model is it? ICS? Model D x'ed out and C or something else stamped in? The only way to get a clear picture of those closing days is to do some data mining.
