Default Serial number cheat sheet for Water Heaters?
Does anyone have a good cheat sheet they would be willing to share that describes the numbering convention of serial numbers for different manufacturers.

Normally it can be deciphered in the first 4 characters but sometimes this does not suffice. I've seen the serial number descriptions for Bradford White, Ruud, Rheem and Richmond but there are a lot of others out there.

Any assistance would be appreciated...

Just when you think you've seen'em all!

This water heater is a 'Trageser' 30 gallon gas unit:
serial # A61697 - Assumed year 97'. Couldn't find a thing on this brand.
