[Hammarlund] HQ-210?

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

The serial number makes no sense to me at all.

HAMMARLUND
MFG
NO. [blank box]
and inside a wider box below this there is this number:
34838284

That's 34,838,284 which makes no sense.

3483 followed by 8284.

I don't know what it means, certainly 34,838,284 of these weren't made.
