Decode it? Any reason? The only thing I can tell you is they all started at 0001001. There was no production date coding at that point.

Model 475 serial numbers ran 4825001 to 4884072, for a total of 59071 units, they were made in 1935 and 1936.

By your serial number I would say the last part of 1936.

I stand corrected. Thanks, Ray. I always thought 1001 was the consistent starting serial number with hoover, but it must have started later on.
