Can't find the year of used boat I bought on either tag.

Hello, Bo -

The Winchester Repeating Arms company must receive many questions on dating one of their firearms by its serial number. The company has been nice enough to create list of its firearms manufacturing dates by serial number from 1866 through 1992.

See the list (PDF format) here:

I leave looking through the document to you in hopes of determining the manufacturing year of your model.

Best wishes.

You can look up the manufacturing year by serial number at this site. Singer Sewing Machine Company Serial Numbers

Colt Manufacturing Company Samuel Colt Inventions HISTORY com The Colt Revolver In The American West Autry National Center Colt Manufacturing Company LLC Company History

Serial numbers are visible on equipment where you see a permanently attached tag.
The tag will also give model number, motor amps, and other information.
Should say serial number or ser. no.

DESA International aka Vanguard and other names has been out of business for about 4 years.
Several previous owners/board members formed a new company FMI LLC and bought many of the heater assets of the bankrupt DESA International. See below

FMI Products, LLC a newly formed LLC announces the purchase of all assets of the FMI contractor business (fireplace and gas logs) from the bankrupt Estate of Desa of Bowling Green, Kentucky. FMI Products will establish the Santa Ana location as its new corporate headquarters which houses a 150,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility.

The new company also includes a 106,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Russellville, Alabama. This operation will house the customer service and technical service support groups, in addition to manufacturing and distribution.

Mark Klein President & CEO of the new company states "we are excited about this new company and are confident that

with the expertise of the management and the dedicated employees we have been able to maintain,

we will be able to grow the company and become a significant force within our industry."

FMI Products uses various brand names such as FMI, Vantage Hearth, Design Dynamics, Comfort Flame, Hearthside Designs and numerous others.

Every thing built since March 23, 2009 carry a full warranty from FMI products.

All the product built prior to March 23, 2009 Carry a Desa warranty and

Desa is bankrupt and is not around to validate any warranty on the products they built. Carefully check all the "DEALS" that are out there!

Hope this helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

look on it for a manufacturing company plate and see if you can tell who made it and look for their website

Regarding "Adventure Mfg, dba Timberland", the some of the execs --namely its founder, started a new RV company called "Riverside Travel Trailer, Inc." and it appears they are still in business. Here are a couple of links. I would think they still would be able to give advice about their "old" RVs.

Your washer was manufactured in March of 1993. The manufacture date is determined by the Serial Number. The second letter "C" represents the YEAR of manufacture. The first two numbers "14" represent the WEEK it was manufactured. The 14th week puts the manufacturing in late March. I hope this helps you.

please tell us about the make(manufacturing company) of that machine,
