Date of manufacture?

From Svenn on 8/13/2013 10:48:08 AM

Anyone have a reference for determining age of manufacture on Wildwoods.   I've got a Minstrel that I'm curious about.  

Thanks

I don't think they put serial numbers in them anymore.

Did they ever have numbers? About 3 years ago I got a 1980 Troubadour from the original owner. I didn't originally know what model it was since it has a darker stain than what I saw on the WW website or on Elderly. I then sent photos to Wildwood to learn more and Mark Platin replied with the model type adding that there are no numbers.
