Please note: There are many reasons why the serial numbers are not in clear ascending order strongly correlated with date sold. So there will be glaring inconsistencies. The early entries are probably the most vulnerable to these vagaries.  As you get into the mid-80s and beyond the serial numbers are more consistent.
