Age of Hobart N50

I purchased an older Hobart N50 mixer with the intention to clean it up. It's bottom label is essentially unreadable. It is the older style with the cast gear shift lever. It also has the power from the base of the tower, rather than from the motor cover. When did the ball lever start being used? When did the power cord start attaching to the motor cover?

Thanks.

You may still be able to read the label.

  1. Take a photo of it,
  2. In what ever image manipulation software you have, adjusting the image parameters ( Levels & Curves should be the 2 main parameters to reveal the faint details) 

A couple of links that may help you 

Once you get the serial number you should be able to get the age..
