Reply to "Date of manufacture"

I have quite a few prewar Lionel cars and engines. I know that there is a time period when they were produced like 1931-37. Is there a way to find out when each car or engine was manufactured by Lionel? Are there numbers or markings inside the cars to give that information?

How about posting a list of what you have that brings up this question.  Among the Greenburg O and Standard gauge books that I have, I can probably help with many of them.  I also have most catalogs from 1923 to 1941.    shouldn't be difficult to identify most within a range of 2-3 years.  I've done a lot of that kind of research on items that I've acquired that were made  between 1915 and 1941.

But how many items do you have ?  If this is a serious project, you might want to  buy  some of the Greenberg books.
