The highest serial number I’ve seen is 9107109, a Conn 24M alto. One of these is where production ended at Nogales and was moved (probably) to the Armstrong plant in Elkhart. My interpretation of the skip to 7100001 is based upon an article in Music Trades stating that the Nogales factory was closed for the entire second half of 1997 to retool for a new line of saxophones – the 24M and 665. This appears to coincide with the elimination of rolled toneholes on the 21M and 660 altos. Serial numbers “skip” on multiple occasions. Instruments exist with serial numbers within that gap. Note for 1977: The original documentation gives an ending figure of N89496, but a 1977 starting figure of N91314. After extensive research I determined that the saxophone serial numbers were separated from the brass when Elkhart was shut down by MacMillan, and the “N” prefix does not, as is commonly believed, denote 1970 as the year of manufacture where saxophones are concerned. The 1976-1988 portion of this chart was available from UMI, however, it omitted the “N” prefix. Production at Armstrong plant in Elkhart (?)
