American Standard – See Trane. Numbers in the serial number represent the week and year. ANNNNNN This serial number was used from 1969 to 1990. The guides above give heater serial number decoding for each manufacturer and type of heating appliance. For example, when decoding the age of an H.B. Smith heating boiler one of our readers provided the following from his boiler's data tag: H.B. Fairy tail sub or dub. Smith, Westfield MA Series G200 Boiler Model # G200-W-5CON Serial # J80-2747. For an HB Smith boiler the age is typically the two digits following the letter at the beginning of the serial number. Let’s decode the above rating plate: This is water heater model number 21V50-2, serial number 1291A39968, manufactured in December of 1991, 50 gallons, 36000 BTU’s per hour, and is set to work with natural gas only.

Fender used the 'Letter + Number' system from mid 1976 through 2009. The letters were: 'S' for 1970s 'E' for 1980s 'N' for 1990s 'Z' for 2000s During the 1970s and 1980s these were really 'off', partially due to low production both before the sale of Fender by CBS and after FMIC's purchase of the company in 1985. FMIC wound up using any left-over decals with 'E3xxxxx' and 'E4xxxxx' numbers on the first of the American Standards - so you have guitars built from late 1986 until mid 1988 that carry serial numbers that would 'decode' to 1984 (and a few that decode to 1983). It gets closer to being 'on track' in 1990s.
