If it’s a C&P the the Serial number is stamped into the upper left corner of the bed as you’re facing the press. You may need to clean away a bunch of dried up ink, etc to see it. It’s always possible that the bed was reground flat and that would have removed the SN

Thanks, I found the serial number…. however it does not fit in the information I found on the web.
serial #C6101, I couldn’t find any numbers that low on this web site:
