Now that you have stated the numbers, I can see it, so thx for that! Kind of like one of those "can you see the animal (or whatever) in the picture" things.
At 70, my vision is affecting my wrenching also. Trying to line up the chain and cogs with indexed shifting adjustments can cause me some eye strain.
But for whatever reason I've always struggled with serial #'s. This is not new.

It's very cool to know what I have. I am really looking forward to restoring it. It is surprisingly light, and to my tastes, very elegant. I've always loved the classic frames from my youth. Never could understand why city bikes didn't come in similar quality (so much heavy fat tubing used!).
