Although it's difficult to be specific in some cases, it is possible to make some generalizations.
If the headbadge on the Redbird notes Brantford as the place of manufacture, it is pre-1900. If it notes Toronto, it's pre-1917. If it notes Weston it's 1917 and after. The Redbird badge remained in the CCM catalogue until 1927.
