Some information about the Shopsmith tool has the date as October but Everett Davis, our Shopsmith Historian, has copies of Magna Engineering documents that shows the real original shipment as November 15, 1947. The first 250 Model 10E Shopsmiths were made and crated just in time for shipping to the West Coast Montgomery Ward stores November 15, 1947. A few owners have original sales receipts that came with there Model 10 which helps. There are no known records of serial number production dates for the Model 10's like there is for a lot of the Mark 5/V's. Any answer to that question is a "best" guess. When was my Model 10E or 10ER made is a question that comes up every so often.
