Bradfor White water heater age

[Bruce A. King]

Anyone have updated info on these, mine is old and don't make sense anymore...

Bradford White water heater SN EF10718168

Looks like June of whatever year E is, I really don't think its a 1988 model since it is on a new house.
I suspect its a least 2-3 years old though.

thanks!
