Early ones have the serial flat under carriage on the left, this is looking straight down on the upen machine.  Later ones have it under the rail on the left side.

New collector with a penchant for offbeat models/brands and, conversely, the mundane models many overlook, if I have a personal connection or just find them interesting. Finding that collecting typewriters is like eating potato chips, you can't have just one! Also restorer of mechanical calcs, Vintage audio, and vintage computers.
