The only Model 20 I have reference to looks more like an oversized Model 5. The dual head Fedelcode was introduced in 1929 but nothing I have on hand suggests it was 20 horsepower. Its design changed over the years with the later 1950s version being dual tone 9-12.
A recording of a 9-12 dual head Fedelcode can be found here:

The Model 20 could not have lasted very long as it is no longer mentioned by 1942.

Where did you get that if I may ask? I wanna see more.
Just a guess (correct me if I am wrong) but I think that advertisement was being sold on eBay and SuperBanshee bought it. Or he found it while researching somewhere.

That particular advertisement came from eBay. I don't recall how much it cost but it was fairly cheap despite being such a rare piece. I've only seen one other copy of it and that was back in 2008. There was another advertisement mentioned or posted on the old pre-2006 forum but I cannot find it.

Thats pretty cool, didn't know they were ever shaped like that. I also have another question, does anyone have the picture of the fedelcode in farmland, indiana after it fell down? I cant seem to find it anywhere.
