Serial Number 1168817 was reported as inaccurate.
Note: This is a Bunn Grade with 16 Jewels. I would say
the first 20 made in this run are Bunn 16J model
5. The run before this one was also a Bunn Grade
16J in Model 6 Open Face which is rare also and
they usually made these Bunn OF and HC runs after
each other.
