I'm starting a new thread that replicates one from 2011. Which number Hatfield banjo do you have? In the old thread, Bev explained how the Hatfield serial numbers work.

Take mine for example: 2201401000-40

And broken down: 2-2014-01-000-40

The first 2 is the month it was finished. 2014 is the year. 01 is the model, mine is a Celebrity. The 000 is filler. And the 40 is the number instrument you have.

So I have Hatfield Celebrity #40.

Probably no need for everyone to rehash the entire serial number, but what about you? Which number Hatfield do you have?

	n1wr says: 12/3/2014 3:58:25 PM My serial number is 8 2008 04 000 32. It's a Celebrity but not gold plated. Does anyone have the current codes for the current models? I assume 04 is a code for custom?
	steveloggie says: 12/3/2014 7:36:35 PM No label or serial # in mine, but it is a Stonycreek #4 August 2013.
	RTWhite says: 12/3/2014 7:49:39 PM I think the 04 is for Custom. No label or serial number!? Steve…. did you go to NYC and buy it in Chinatown?
