Circle Y Serial Numbers
We get a lot of requests to decipher serial numbers on saddles. Here's how you can read Circle Y serial numbers. Circle Y has been manufacturing saddles for 50 years and there have been many configurations of serial numbers. The easiest to decipher are the most recent.
May 2006 to Present
In addition to the the serial number, a date code will be included on the plate, along with the long serial number, which will tell the year of manufacture and the unique number for that saddle (example 20090001- which is 2009 and 0001 the unique number for the saddle).

1990s to April 2006
This period of serial numbers are much like the above. Use the chart to determine tree sizes, seat sizes, and colors. There may be an extra number at the end (represented by CD). This just means that more than one of this type of saddle was made that day, so it got a unique number at the end.
Older Saddles - 1970s and 80s
These numbers vary greatly. The first three numbers could represent the style of the saddle. Beyond that, the number meanings are unclear.
