carbking Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 For those who are unaware of these:Branham supplied serial number information for the insurance industry. Branham sent questionaires to each of the known automobile manufacturers each year concerning models, beginning and ending serial numbers by model (also sometimes by assembly plant) and serial number location. I believe the idea came from one insurance company that published its own book in 1919. As far as I can tell, Branham began publishing in 1920 for cars and trucks. Later (post WWII) midyear books would have both updates AND information on imported vehicles, motorhomes, travel trailers, etc..I am disposing of my entire library of these books. At this writing, I have a copy of each year from 1920 ~ 1977 available plus the 1919. I found them invaluable in determining models (I have no interest in the serial numbers) for my carburetor database.The books generally cover 5 years prior to the year published.The information covered in these books is the most accurate available, as it was provided by the original manufacturers.(573) 392-7378 (9-4 Mon-Tues central time), or email.MasterCard or VISA accepted.Jon.
