Dating a Hoover
Sam
I don't know if there is any order to the serial numbers I am afraid, but the information was contained in some service manuals - I have serial numbers from 1953 - 1963 so I can have a look when I get home, for the 119 and maybe for the 2944. If the 375 has narrow front wheels it is pre-WW2, if wide wheels post WW2 Al | ||

Hi Al. My 375 has wide wheels! I did venture into Hooverland earlier and dated one from the service manual there. Any help with the others will help my spreadsheet out! | ||

Dates
Sam,
It appears that your 119 predates 1953 (where my records begin) however it looks like it is an early model (judging by the number) it would be around 1951 I think - they were making around 200,000 per annum and January 1953 the number is K514400. It appears that the 2944 is a very early model too, somewhere around January 1961 Al | ||
