Turtleback

Serial Numbers

 

The serial number is stamped on the top edge of the outer jaw in the middle. So far, all Type T1's have been 2 to 4 digits, Type T2's have been 3 or 4 digits and Type T3's have been 5 digits. On some, the inner jaw is stamped Emmert Mfg Co. Waynesboro PA while others have another set of numbers. You may have to use mineral spirits to uncover it. A paper rubbing is useful if a camera is not available.

If you have a Turtleback, please check to see if you have a serial number. If you do, please send me a photo or rubbing.
