I'll try to post a picture of my 10ER label. But there is nothing stamped in but the number.

OK so it says 10ER to the right. It also has the SN higher towards the middle.


I am not sure, but I think(a lot of conjecture rather than knowledge) that indicates a late production Model 10. So 1952 is still a good estimate.

Thanks JPG. Like I said I had no idea if the manual I got with the lathe was really the correct one. Thanks again. It's nice to know what year it was made, pretty old aren't they?
It's actually one year older than I am. lol

Thanks Bill MAyo for the chart. I've got 4 that I would like to pinpoint the ages on. This will help a lot!
