GE V11 C3 Mfg date
I believe you guys, because you seem to be the experts. However, I removed the wheel base and took these pics of the bottom. Maybe it is a replacement for the original, or a service/repair facility marked it with this date, but the 1965 is unmistakable. I guess just chalk it up to another unsolved mystery of the universe.
Anyway, it's not like I'm parting with a family heirloom, but I'd hate to sell it to some local on Craigslist for $15 who will just destroy it sucking up drywall dust. (I found a Kirby in this condition in someone's trash.)
