    Those last two digits are a different font so it looks like someone could have altered the serial number. Do you suppose it could have been stolen at some time?

    The full serial number is in range for 1953 Canadian manufacture, which matches the model number, no?

    I’m wondering if they didn’t have a stamping machine which could produce sequentially numbered tags, so they stamped out batches of 100 with the leading digits, and then added the last two digits latter.
