Wow, that’s an early one. 208xxx is not a common range for the early post-War machines. Best I could come up with was either Q series for July 1946 or V series for Jan 1946.
Considering we can’t clearly distinguish the series letter (it would trail the number sequence), there’s even a possibly that this is a pre-War J. That serial tag is old and is nothing like any I’ve seen on a J2 before, as most of those are stamped on the skirt. If installed with a pump, the lever assembly would be on the side shown with the lid holder/drain hose holder that is doubling for keeping the cord up. Ben Update - most N and J’s had these serial tags up through the end of the 40’s! |

Thanks Ben! I got brave and put the Dremel on it lightly. Found a T. The letters under it turned out to be the location.
