This is from the Mecum auction in September. The tag says "E-62" and serial number is "6A94".
I can't find this in the serial number list. Mecum should know that it is not from 1924, but is this a real serial number?
I have a model "E" Cletrac serial number "6A78" which is in the serial number list as the last one in 1935.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Sparky, is the E with sn 6A94 streamlined or unstreamlined?

 It is "unstyled" with the letter "E" at the top of the radiator. Mine is also "unstyled" with the letters "CLETRAC" at the top of the radiator.
Will try to attach the picture.

It sounds like a real serial number. It would have to be a 1936 as they made both the unstyled and streamlined that year.
