All years other than 1906, 1946, 1950, 1955, 1960, 1965, 1970, 1975, and 1980 are approximations. From 1983 onwards, you may calculate the date of manufacture by adding 50 to the two digit prefix of the serial number.
If you note any discrepancies, or have additional information concerning this company, we would appreciate it VERY much if you would pass it on to The Music Trader. Thank you!
