Mills manufacturing and sales data

[billfasttax]

Was Mills sales data ever compiled and published? (Who bought what model, serial numbers, dates of purchase etc.) Were dates of manufacture, by serial number published. Is there a part revision list by date? If so, where can I get this info. Firearms manufacturers kept every record from day one, and I thought this info would be interesting on slots.

The difference is the gun manufacturers like Colt are still in business. That data existed at one time but was all thrown away when most everyone was forced out of business in 1951 due the Johnson Act. A guy who just happened to go by the Wurlitzer factory after it closed saw the offices cleaned out and the contents put into dumpsters. Some guesses have been made as to serial numbers and years they were produced but that's about it.
