Thanks Wayne, I have seen these serial number ranges, however I am not sure if these numbers are inclusive, i.e. are there numbers skipped in these ranges, or can I just do the subtraction to come up with units produced.
thanks again,

mike,i think there are errors. the serial number of my dexta is 09B702505 as you can see it falls out of the range listed but since it has a 09B I assume it was made in 62? I just don't think they had good accurate records back then. Another reason could be I'm getting old and my arms are getting shorter; but I promise I had my glasses on. Tony

Thanks guys...I appreciate your helpfulness.
I have a 1958 and 1960 Dexta, both of which I was able to date from the serial numbers on this site. Take care...MikeDIP: Logged |
