Mid 50's. Bought several. One fly-away is still in NH. Rest probaly tossed out by Mom when I joined the Navy.

Ebay $36.51 sold as used, but shelf rash only. Never ran. Original owner carefully opened the blister to save the packaging.

Thanks Jacob...........I am not alone!!! Smile

Looks like we are both lower left corner card guys. I have been trying to think of a way to iron it out and lay it flat like yours. Heat too dangerous, but there must be a way. Is there a site that ID's these blister pack colors to year of mfg.? I know there are other colors and black.

Mean-while I got the vintage Golden Bee today. Nasty greasy thing as I have shown before.

Got it all cleaned and assembled and expected a nice smooth pull-through and a compression pop. Didn't get it, just that dreaded mid-pull though drag indicating either a bent crank, bent con-rod, or out of round cylinder.

I knew it wasn't the crank, and didn't expect a bent con rod. Then I remembered, when I was putting it back together i noticed this dimple right between the exhaust ports. Going to swap our cylinders tomorrow to know for sure.

Oh, - Cylinder - 2 bypass no booster. No Made in USA on backplate. High compression head. Thin Wall.

Clean, but still not pretty. Sad
