Hi Dean,

A serial # 63xxx would certainly be well into the "brown" plastic...

From the info. presented in V. Bobba's book and a few other books, here is the color vs. serial number ranges (Please note the cut-over dates and/or serial numbers are not firm and some overlap occurs) :

# 50001 to # 57000 - Red plastic in years 1933-39

# 57000 to # 65000 - Brown plastic in years 1939-42

# 65000 to end (~ # 77941) - Black plastic in years 1942-46

In the commercial range (i.e. P25xxx series) :

# P25000 to # P25300 - Red plastic

# P25301 to # P25800 - Brown plastic

# P25801 to # P26600 and # P77941 to # P78258 - Black plastic

Regards,

Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
