 Re: R13 barrel and bell S/N

Norman: regarding Hawkes serial numbers, Ramon Wodkowski told me he had seen the Hawkes ledgers at one point. I have a Hawkes pair numbers 104xx & 108xx and Ramon dated these to 1924. From the helpful PDF Chris J pointed out, Boosey were putting out around 600 reed instruments per year at that time, so it's a fair guess that Hawkes were doing something similar. So on that basis I'd put e.g. Hawkes 10,000 at mid-1923, and one would expect the last pre-merger instruments from 1930 to be about 14,200.
