Ronnied78 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Picked up this 201# arm and hammer to start making stuff with my young sons. Anyone have some date info or anything else on this one? Looks like number 537 with a K stamped on the left side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Very nice looking A&H, I'm sure someone with a copy of AIA will be along with info. In the mean time I suggest reading this to get the best out of the forum. READ THIS FIRST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozenforge Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 S/N 537 should be from the first year of production, 1900. Looks like its in excellent condition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 There are some missing digits in the photo, or worn away digits in the serial number. That logo stamp is not from the first year of production. That is the third style of logo stamp A&H used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Which was used from when to when---approximately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I don't have exact years, Postman's dates jump from 1901 to 1912. I have serial number ranges for each logo style that I've compiled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnied78 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 I will check it out again tonight and see if I can find some more serial numbers... Black frog. Based on third logo do you have a date range for that version of logo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnied78 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 Do you guys see any more numbers??? Maybe something before the 5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Looks like it might be a 3 or 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 ...looks like there's a leading "1" digit, and some other last digit to provide a 15k range serial number. That 15k range would be appropriate for that style of logo stamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnied78 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 Thanks blackfrog is there a date range for 15k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 1912 ballpark according to AIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
