help dating 29-2

[tcloud]

I just acquired a model 29-2, 6.5" barrel and would like some help dating it.
The number on the frame is N66115
The number on the crane is 18629

Nice, the presentation case looks salvageable...The Klein Tools bag is a nostalgic touch for me, world's finest electrician's tools...The S/N puts it somewhere between 1969 and 1972 per SCSW4......Ben

Welcome to the Forum!

I was going to suggest flowers, candy, and a nice restaurant......

But seriously folks, the only way to find out your 29's actual "born on (shipping) date is with a factory letter. As you can see from Truckman's reply there is a several year window when this one might have shipped. It's fairly early in the "N" serial number series. That fact doesn't add value, just interest.

Most likely shipped in early 1973.
