Golding Official No.6
I have a Golding Official No. 6 that has had it’s date removed. The serial number is 1021. Can anyone give me a year for this item?

I have a Golding Pearl that has 1889 in the side casting and has the serial number 1203, so it seems fair to assume it is earlier than that.
For more exact info, you might try contacting Steve Saxe.

The Golding serial number log book notes that the batch of Official 6’s with serial numbers from1189 through 1213 were “Finished March 10, 1894.”
