It seems possible that I and or O (or other letters) may have been omitted from the sequencing so I was still looking for enough examples and unrecorded letters to see how it would work out. With an unbroken chain beginning at A=1936 then J would equal 1945, one year off of the other reading but still generally in line with the bicycles and features I have recorded. Building upward from J equal to 1944, then P would equal 1950 which you posted earlier in answer to someone’s question…if all the letters were used and were used in sequence.įor prewar products it would be likely that the sequencing could have started with A=1936 or 1937 as Murray-Ohio began building bicycles in 1936 but those were considered the early production of the 1937 line. With your book's list coming to press soon I’ll note that my stab in the dark puts “J” equal to 1944 or 1945. That will help finally put the old non-functioning list to rest. X71 = Sportscrest (?) Also Special for 1971 (in 71 only,could have been used other years as different meaning) X70 = Special for 1970 (in 70 only, could have been used other years as a different meaning) X69 = Special for 1969 (in 69 only, could have been used other years as a different meaning) If they didn't order a minimum number of bikes, they possibly shared an X number with a Murray badged bike. We figure that a customer had to order a minimum number of bikes per order to have there own X number. Ron and I were talking about these numbers recently. We need to add to the list as more show up. This is what I have so far on the X numbers. They also went to a 4 digit model number. In 69, they changed the layout yet again. After these 3 digits was a 2 or 3 digit model number followed by and X and a 1 or 2 digit number that I will discuss momentarily. Some 65 bikes had an MO5 which stood for Murray of Ohio 1965.
#WHAT YEAR IS MY MURRAY BIKE SERIAL NUMBER#
In 65 they were changing there serial number style and by then they were on the left rear dropout. Sears bikes then had a 2 - 5 digit number afterwards that stood as the model number and was actually used in there catalogs as the part number. Sears bikes had a 502 and Gambles bikes had a WG or a WG and a single digit. This excludes bikes built for Sears and Gambles(Hiawatha).
#WHAT YEAR IS MY MURRAY BIKE CODE#
After the year code will be a 2 or 3 digit number that stands for the model number. This is usually followed by a - and a single letter. I ASSUME that they stand for Murray of Ohio Supply. I have seen the letters MOS stamped on most of these. Most of these bikes up until the early 60's had the serial number stamped on the bottom of the bottom bracket. I don't know how far back this goes, but I know that Murray used a single letter to represent the year since at least 1949. There has been many people along the way that has contributed and a few that has helped set me straight. Needed to do this for a while, so here is what I have figured out so far.
