Anyone have the serial numbers for 1940s Hardinge lathes?

I can find ones for the HLV-H but none for a TR-59, made from 1939-46 is the predecessor to the DV-59. I would like to know when mine was made.

I'd look in my serial number book, but I think my 3 year old grandson put it in a "safe place".

If it’s the metalworking machinery serial number reference book I can’t find any for sale.

Yes, indeed, that is the one, I think that mine went up to 1963. Perhaps it will turn up someday ---
