Hardinge HLV Cant find the serial #

[markp]

Im selling my HLV lathe. Everyone is asking what the serial number is. Ive never been able to find one. Guessing its from mid to late 50s. I also don't see anyone indicating where the serial is on these old lathes anywhere online. Anyone have a clue?

Found the one mention of the location. Back by the spindle lock on the collet closer pivot! Didn't know this model is called a BK. That would have helped.

No. 667-3 was built early in 1955.
