    dear cluttercloset49, i couldn't find a serial number but i found this which dates both to 1921-1928. same model different packing :D then i took a closer look at the blades and they had a 4-digit code. that narrows it down to 1925-1928. my grandfather was 19 in 1925 and married in 1928. could have been wedding gifts! :woot::) thanx!!
