Conn branded Cs had curved necks up to 1920 (about #60,000), and straight necks with tuners afterwards.

Rarely do you see a curved neck on a post 1920 Conn. There were a few who did not want the tuner, but very few. There are even a few Conns around the time of the change that have the tuner on a curved neck.

Conn stencil Cs have the curved neck with no tuner.
