Hi,  I have a pair of K horns that I would like some help with their production date.  Their serial #'s are 1356 and 1357.  Any other information would be great if it can be decoded from the tag picture attached.  

Pissing of my neighbors since 1981,  my purchase date. I bought them from the original owner , a true audiophile, Cedrick Neel.   

 

Thanks for the help,

Rick

Unfortunately some of the old records are a bit cryptic, but I can get you close.  The woofer cabinet build date and the final assembly ship date can be fairly far apart.  #1356 woofer cabinet was built on 8/5/58.  #1357 was 8/6/58.  The records do not show a ship date for either.  Must have been operator error (Lloyd McClellan likely).  The previous serial number #1355 shipped on 7/21/58.  To illustrate the non-sequential logbook entries, the earlier #1334 shipped on 1/8/59.  Yes, 1959.  So best guess is late 58 or early 59!
