Vendo 6-CV date

[felix55]

I finally got my 6 case tore down to the shell.  The ID plate code says this model is from 1958, however the Vendo records say the 6-CV was not manufactured after 1956.  I saw some people found dates written on the insides of their machines, and I was hoping to find some "proof" inside somewhere.  I know it's a long shot, but is there somewhere I forgot to look perhaps?  *Side question: Is there a Vendo Kansas City decal available for the bottom of the bottle door?  Thanks!

Last year for the 6CV was 1956, if your machine is factory two toned with a white top and stainless trim it was built in 1956.

Cool facts on the 1956 6CV

I've been doing some research and found these serial numbers on verified 6CV white tops: 80621583(mine), 80621039, 80521337 and 80621198.  They all corispond to the 1956 serial numbers (21033-21631), but the first digit is 8 denoting 1958.  Has anyone seen a E110 white top with a serial number starting with a 6 or 7?
