Jeff Your model 35 has the sticker. The easiest way to tell is that the sticker is smaller than the Madallion. Another way to tell is if you flip over the machine and remove the beater bar on a madallion machine you will see the little clips for the madallion poking through the base of the...

If memory serves Tom Anderson told me they made the change in April 1966. That is why the 35, 36, and 70 could be bought with either the clip on medalion or the sticker depending on when they were made. That is how I know both my 35 & 36 are early models Luckily both my 35 and 36 have a clip on...
