This is a list of Hardinge lathes by serial numbers and year of manufacturing. I have only included HLV-H and HLVs. It is difficult to know when a production year ended and a new one started, the intent of this document is to give an idea of the year of manufacture. I have taken my information from sellers, machinists, hobbyists and auction houses. This is as of October 30, 2020. According to Larry Vanice, these may apply to TFB-H also. When a year is missing, it's because no lathes were found as of this date

Are those numbers for machines made in the UK? My serial number is not on any of those. Years ago I had to call Hardinge and ask for the year.
 
Rons,
Done a search on this site, and found the statement below by MILFLYER around 2006, but the list that you refer to, was almost all US produced lathes. I also believe that MILFLYER may have a list of UK made lathes, by s/n's


"""The serial numbers are much lower too as they were not produced in as greater numbers. The final HLV-H machine produced in England had a serial number of 2231 and was made in 1988."""
