Title: Vendo 39 serial number Post by: vendo39 on July 01, 2008, 03:26:22 pm I read that the Vendo company sometimes incorporated the machine’s construction date into the machine’s serial number. Does anyone know if that was true for the early Vendo 39’s? My serial number is FA 4188. I’m assuming that means it was the 4,188th machine made and does not mean it was built on April 18 and was the 8th machine built. Also, the date April 8, 1949 is stamped in several places inside the case.
Can anyone help me understand what the serial number means? Thanks Title: Re: Vendo 39 serial number Post by: vendo39 on July 01, 2008, 03:50:45 pm I’m continuing to search through old posts…
Actually, since they started at serial number 1001 now I’m guessing my machine is actually the 3,188th machine produced. Agree or Disagree? Thanks Title: Re: Vendo 39 serial number Post by: Larry on July 01, 2008, 06:03:27 pm According to this sheet that I have V-39 serial numbers from 1001 - 13703 were from 1949.
