"I have an older-looking K45, but I can't find a serial number. Mine has the model number and volts, etc. stamped into the metal base plate that the bowl locks into. It says it was manufactured by Hobart in Troy, Ohio. It also says DC to 60 cycles AC on it. 115 volts, 250 watts. It's got the stainless steel bowl and the burnished beater. Any idea how old it is? Oh, if you turn it over, underneath it has the number T-77720 stamped into the metal."
