This U.S. lay is that of American Type Founders, American Line Type Book - Borders, Ornaments - Price List Printing Material and Machinery Boston 1906, and Barnhart Bros & Spindler, Book of Type Specimens No.9, 1907, and Hamilton Manufacturing Co, Modern Cabinets, Furniture and Materials for Printers, Catalog 14 c.1907. Note that there are only 49 boxes, allowing more room for capitals, unlike normal Upper cases, with 98 boxes. Also, to further increase the space for capitals, rather than the numerals and puntuation, etc., the bottom four rows have larger boxes than the rows above, and the punctuation row has the smallest boxes.

The empty configuration is Hamilton
