Hello, Wagoneer, I had a premonition you might stop by here. Got Boyer-Schultz already bookmarked.
Boyer-Schultz Corp.
An Esterline Company
2000 S. 25th Street
Broadview, IL. 60153
Model/Size: 6 x 12
Year 1951 began with Ser. #5500, Year 1952 began with ser. #6500
Your 6030, was built in 1951
Jeremy, B&S #2 surface grinder serial numbers mfg'd after 1950 or so went to a "split" format as follows
523-2-xxx
523 is the machine "type"
2 is the "model/size"
Xxx is the sequential serial #
Based on your number it is definitely older than 1950...
Last serial # for 1941 was 13960
Last serial # for 1943 was 16679
Therefore using an educated guess I'd say 1940-ish...??
Amigo, I have a Rockford 14" x 36" Economy lathe with serial number GE 3519 Can you tell me it's date of manufacture? Thanks,I've not offered this before but here goes.
I have the Serial Number Reference Book 9th edition, for metalworking machinery. If people on this forum do not know when their metalworking machinery was made, but need that info in order to find parts or accessories; post make, model and serial number and I'll look them up. If the book lists your machine & serial number I'll post it.
Please be patient & I'll reply in the order the posts are listed.
BTW, this edition of the book does not list machinery built after the year 1983.
Must add that this is a reference of "industrial" machinery. My grandfather's 1952 Craftsman 6" lathe is not listed.
I am not Amigo, but maybe I can help a little...Hello:
I am looking for year-built info for a Brown & Sharpe No. 13 universal grinder. The machine's serial number is 525-13-1348. The machine is, what I believe, known as the new style machine. B&S apparently changed from the old style No. 13 to the new style in the mid or late 1950s. So far, the best I have been able to do for determining its build year is sometime between the late 50s to around 1970.
Looking forward to any help you can provide,
