I got this 25 hp case years ago for a great deal, but when checking the case number it seems to be missing a digit, and after looking at the generator post case stamping makes me think it is correct. What is the born date? If anyone could please shed some light on this or a great opinion it would be appreciated. Idea Idea Idea
(12th week of September done by the second shift in 1951)

12.9.1951 second shift (September 12th). However, the number should read:

-1-0364508-

Missing the 0 and - in both end. The numbers seems correct to the case (November 1951) so maybe somebody was lazy stamping numbers at the factory (night shift). Fonts look all right.

Here is one of my cases from the same era with an original number also from Nov 1951.

-1-0368898-

Thanks that's what I thought just seemed odd.
