| I have a 1944 WC and I was going to register it on the owner registry but I have some concerns. The ones I have seen only have six numbers so I don't know if I read it wrong or what. I believe it says WC1352158 but I'm wondering if the last one is an "S" instead of an "8". Some insight would be greatly appreciated! |

You have too many digits. Should only be 6 digits. Some WCs had steel rear ends, perhaps the "S" at the end signifies that? I am just guessing here.

| Yes it does have the square steel rear end so it must be an "S" instead of an "8". Which would make more since. Thanks for the insight |

| Correct - the steel rear WCs had an S at the end of the serial number. |

Serial WC 135215 would be an early 1945. Gary |
