So what is real value for nice unrestored original
I have seen 5k up to 10k
It should be worth a lot since it is the holy grail

Also any idea on how many were made in that 1 year period ?

I think 5000.00-7000.00 is a good range for a really nice original. I think 10,000 is pushing it unless it just came out of a crate from 1952. If no one knows the answer we could start with serial numbers. Mine is serial# 301490. Maybe if we compile some serial numbers it may give us an idea. That is if they went in some kind of order with numbers. Just a thought.

Good idea- I have 2 and will look up numbers

Would be interesting to know how many of these exist amongst members here

Seems rare since if u wanted to buy one today, there are limited available

was looking at Jacobs 26 coke on EBAy and its serial starts with 30 as well

I"ll uncover my restored one and get the number in a couple days

one on ebay that just sold looks like it was 292392L

Uncover that baby and get us some nice pic's. I hear that thing is amazing. :biggrin:

Mine is 301332 and then what looks like a sideways L

My serial number is 203631 and it looks like a D. 

There doesn't seem to be a pattern. I thought maybe the serial numbers would be a difference of only hundreds. That serial number is about 100,000 off of mine. Maybe the first numer 3 designated production in 1953 and the 2 was production in 1952?? Just a thought.

Sounds logical to me on your number sequence. 

Ok ! Guys

I dug out my 56         Serial number  202414D

We'll the one Re-Listed on e-Bay it's number is 202392D 

22 Newer them mine  :smile:

So far they either begin with a 2 or 3 so we will see if the theory of 1952 and 1953 continues or if something pops up with a different starting number. I will also post any serial numbers I find as well.
