Serial Number F169813 was reported as inaccurate.
adjusted to 5 positions.
I looked through completed and sold listings on
ebay and found many 616's )ser. no.s from F to S
runs). All were 5 pos. adjustments and some 6. I
think there is allot of confusion with this grade
:). I haven't seen a lever set but I'm guessing
they did have them to market to railroaders. I
also have an Eglin material grade catalog from
1950 that ends with the J series serial nos.
showing no grade 616. I believe that same year
they started making the 616 using F to start the
runs. Their use of letters to start serial numbers
seems to have no rhyme or reason to it lol !! Hope
the info helps and keep up the great work you do
at this site!!
