You can see all of the Essex models on my website; www.essexcanada.wordpress.com the 1931 has a few distinctive marks. The most important is the front grille which is like a screen. other years have grilles. The other one is that the cowl lights are bolted underneath the belt line. In 1930 , it is bolted on the belt line. In 1929 it is real close to the hood and the brackets are pointing rear. In 1928 the cowl light brackets are pointing out. The 1928 is the only year with a msacot, called the flying Accarius from the greek legend. hope this helps!
