My Eureka 260 EK falls firmly into late May 1964's serial numbers for the 260-B, so I'm wondering if one of the bookkeepers forgot to update the letter in the range, or if I may just have a bizarre example. | ||

Hi, Paul The reason why I'm wondering if the numbers may not have rolled over is that they didn't when it changed from 260-A to 260-B. My 260-EK has the serial number 75059, which is 20 numbers away from 5/1964's high serial number of 75037. My rough theory (for now) is that somewhere in the long list of "260-B" there is a transition to 260-E (assuming that the 260-C and 260-D were Canada only.). My theory is that the changes may have been minor enough that the person writing the shipping record didn't feel the need to create a separate list. (especially since it appears the 260-A was only made from 12/1960-10/1961). | ||

Nick, Does the McLean County M of H know that you're interested in later shipping records? If they had one from the 1970s, that would help. | ||
