I should have studied the tutorials on cleaning it, so I would have had the supplies ready. Oh well, I can work on cleaning up and checking for sure about the serial #. It is either an 1885 or approx 1912 or 13 I think.
It does not look like a letter is stamped in front of the numbers to me. If there is not a letter, then it is an 1885. Do you see one? Any quick ideas to just clean up the serial number plate before taking it all apart to clean thoroughly by Billy's tutorial? Or do you think it is clear enough to properly date it?
definitly a 6 for the first number
