AndrewOC Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 carefully pick out what you can see with dental pick/ fine scriber/ o ring pick. Lay a bright electric torch on the surface so it shines across the letters, try different angles. Sometimes lightly wiping chalk over to pick up the high points helps.

irontwister Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 what if you cant decide about the numbers? exmp. 3 or 8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sask Mark Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 It depends on which place the number is in. If the number is in the ones, tens, hundreds, or potentially even thousands place, it probably won't make any difference in determining the approx. year of manufacture since Mr. Postman provided a range of serial numbers manufactured each year. For example, sn 204318 would have probably been manufactured the same year as 204818. (Disclaimer - Before anyone breaks out an AIA book and tells me I'm wrong with these two serial numbers, please note I just made this up as an example) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
