This sure looks like a Conn with the 1914 patent date, right? When did Martin actually make their own bari's?

Yeah, that most certainly is a Conn stencil, for martin. I have seen martin baris from the 1920's too, they were making some... but maybe they wanted to increase their distribution and numbers and had Conn make some too. very interesting.
