Title: 4.5in Fuch serial numbers/date stamps?
Post by: nigelg65 on July 05, 2010, 12:53:23 pm
Question: do all genuine 4.5in Fuchs have date stamps and/or serial numbers stamped on the back? I read on the net that some have no numbers whatsoever.

There are never any serial numbers on any Fuchs.

Some early Fuchs don't have date codes.

There is a part# starting with 901, a date and a fuch emblem triangle shaped. And the wheels are very light

So chaps are we saying that some early 4.5s have no numbers on them whatsoever?

Correct.

I have one pair of early Fuchs that have no part number, no Fuchs logo, no size, just the date.

The wheels I have that are missing all the numbers are early 7R Fuchs.  7/67 and 9/68.
