Question:
If I set up a simple web page, would folks be willing to share serial numbers and accepted dates from factory letters they have? It would be useful even if you "x" out the last digit or two in improving start and end dates for years.
It would narrow down areas where sending in for random letters from Cody would be most useful.
Folks could always share here. But if you don't want your name linked to a serial number, I can easily create an anonymous web page where you can enter the date. I understand not wanting to publish data publicly.
The "Accepted from factory" date is the most useful when the letter has it. After September, 1926 they didn't record it any more though, so ship date is it.
I'll start:
10.16x - Accepted March 1, 1899
11.50x - Accepted September 26, 1901
12.17x - Accepted September 11, 1899
26.79x - Accepted August 13, 1901
52.33x - Accepted September 23, 1904
225,0xx - Accepted June 6, 1920
429,6xx - Shipped mid-1945
PS: Here's a form you can enter info. Totally anonymous, just serial number and accepted date. Should I add fields for more data? Model? Ship date? Comments?
