Nine Pound Hammer H serial number

You posted about a serial number a while back. Since then I have worked with some steel tags.
They are thinner than the aluminum tags. I told you I hadn't seen numbers on the back of those aluminum tags. Sometimes the numbers are visable on the back of the steel tags sometimes not. I have developed a process to learn the numbers on the steel tags if you want to send yours.
I had guessed wrong on several of my Hs. One had steel wheels on the front but they had been added. It was older than I thought.
 
Excuse me for jumping in here, but there was a discussion you started about six weeks ago regarding when steel serial number plates began.

I had estimated the change to steel started around April of 1942, but I recently saw an earlier steel plate (40074) that has a 13 October 1941 build date... So I was off by about 6 months on that estimate.

Thought you might be interested in that.
 
Thanks Dan
Looks like they went to steel before the war. 37989 alumn is the latest '41 I have.
On the other end 52587 is the latest steel '45 tag I have with 54431 being alumn.
Perhaps that will help you narrow things down. Let me know if that changes things on when they went back to aluminum.
 
Sounds like you're acquainted with several if not lots of the H's. Ever come across 38397 or 38398?
