Thanks Jay! Much obliged.
I see some interesting and curious things on that chart. First, I see that whoever added up the totals in Adrian Ingram's book (where I got my info on another forum) had some trouble with math. They had the totals for 1964, 1966 and 1970 wrong (off by 10, 10 and 8 respectively in those three years). I had the total number of Sheratons from '59 to '70 at 672, but according to your chart the number comes out to an even 700.
Also, it was my understanding that there were four model designations:
the E-212T, E-212TN, E-212TV, and E-212TNV. The E-212T was the frequensator-equipped model in either sunburst or cherry; the E-212TN was the frequensator-equipped model in a natural finish; the E-212TV was the Vibrato (Tremotone) model in sunburst or cherry; and the E-212TNV was the Vibrato (Tremotone) model in a natural finish]
Your chart shows three other designations, the E-211TN; the E-212TV Ch; and the E-212T Ch. I've never heard of the "Ch". Did they give the cherry finish its own model designation in 1967? That would seem odd, since they had been offering cherry starting in 1962. Maybe the "Ch" stands for something else? Anyway, it's great to see the numerical breakdown. I kind of wish that they'd broken down the totals for cherry and sunburst for the "T" and "TV" models, though.
