Apparently, a Cole-Steel with the serial number 3-149323 was sold on March 21, 1960. My Cole-Steel has a serial number of 3-143335. Because the Cole-Steel was popular in Germany, and relatively popular in the United States, I think it is a reasonable assumption that my Cole-Steel was sold in 1960. Because it is a later model, it could have been sold by Burt Typewriter, at 1204 Second Avenue (demolished in the 1980s for the Washington Mutual Tower).
