Go to this site and scroll down to where it says "Serial Number/Dating List - click on that. There are about 49 papes of dates for all the models made by White. The Minnesota A, H, E, and M are all listed by their serial numbers and you can date your Minnesota. The Minnesota was sold by Sears, but made by the White Sewing Machine Company.
