Serial Number 503802 was reported as inaccurate.
Note: According to the grey Illinois book this is a
grade 65-s with a total production of 1568
grade 65-s with a total production of 1568
Curator Response: The "65-S" classification is simply a "Special Order" Grade 65 (Private Label). However, not all runs were recorded in this way, so it is not a reliable indicator to determine production counts of standard vs. private label movements. For the purpose of the database, these have been consolidated into the proper grade classification and noted accordingly if the factory records indicate there are private labels in the run.
