Re: Unknown year Lane Cedar Chest
Re: Unknown year Lane Cedar Chest
For the earlier pieces (20s-30s), Serial numbers started out being 6 digits read from left to right.Â
Later, Lane added a 7th digit.
The serial #, read backwards, will tell you the month, day and year it was manufactured. Â
If it has 7 numbers, the last number indicates which plant it was made at. Â Example
2235150 Â = 2 / 23 / 51 / 50 Â shows it was made on May 15, 1932 at plant #2. Â This number is found on the outside bottom of the chest. Â You will also find the model # on the bottom.
Your lovely piece was made November 21, 1956
