Since the machines were different types of machines which would have most certainly been completed in the factory at different times, it is only logical that serial numbers were assigned as orders were received. Our reasoning for this is that at least one example has shown up where multiple machines which were ordered in a bulk order all were assigned sequential serial numbers. Our current theory is that Crescent assigned serial numbers on their machines as orders were placed with the factory or possibly when the machine was shipped from the factory. Many people confuse the raised part numbers with the stamped serial number. These are not serial numbers but are instead part numbers. Most Crescent machines also have raised numbers cast onto the different parts. As such the serial number will be stamped in depressed numbers.
