Not always. I had a Series #3 a few months ago. No plates or marks where one may have been anywhere else (full access 3ft around). Never did arrive at an answer to that one. If I remember right, it was reference dated late 1930's. (Didn't have the Weil-McLain contact info back then).

[Keith Runquist, CMI]

I'm going to say 1932.

[Bob Elliott]

Hmmm sounds crazy but the home is a 1925 brick bungalow.
may be time to replace.

Just i thought Bob it looks more like late 50's early 60's just from the style.
Any serial numbers on the burner?

Have another coffee and read #8.

I'd give Weil-McLain a buzz, and see if they can help

[Bill Smith]

Pre-60's. I'm gonna say 1955. BTW- The CP numbers started in '77.
