    The other thread made me curious so I pulled out three to look at. I can’t make out one of the because it’s so washed out.

    This one I can’t figure out

    This one I’m guessing is a 1934 but the serial number on the receiver is a 1935

    The top one is probably a g with that date. At least I hope so.
