I only know about the Declaration line, but from what I have read and seen in original catalogs, the set of numbers with hyphens is the product number. I believe the first 3 digits define the set it belongs to (bedroom, dining room, etc), the middle 3 the specific piece (end table, hutch, etc) but I am not sure about the final digits.

The other set of numbers is the date of manufacture expressed in month and year.

There is a strong likelihood that it does not have one. Serial numbers were not required by law on rifles and shotguns until 1968. If the shotgun is a muzzle loader that uses loose powder and shot, it is considered an antique firearm under Federal law, and is not required to have a serial number.

What are the serial numbers on old furniture and will it help you find the value?

Old furniture often doesn't have a serial number, and it probably wouldn't help much in finding the value anyway. If the particular piece you're talking about does have a serial number, it might be a shortcut to figuring out how old it is, but that by itself still doesn't tell you what it's worth. Best option is to go to an antiques dealer for an appraisal.


Do black powdered rifles have to have serial numbers?

I am sure the first rifles made using black powder did not have a serial number engraved. Antique rifles without a serial number do exist. I am however unsure what the law state about collector pieces. Logically one can not force a serial number onto a piece that originally was made without one.
