Should a genuine HUTCH PRO RACER have a serial no?

[Dopedud]

If so where would it be located?

[gmac]

I'd say no

[diesel]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong:

Old first generation US made were unstamped.

Later models were stamped, and I think on the inside edge of the bottom bracket.

But I'm no hutch expert

[jimmyp]

Thats what i thought, im no expert either

That's Kelly's I think 

[daz bmx it!]

Yep,Kelly know's her stuff,it'll be a good un,no doubt

[stuntmaster]

very early hutch`s weren`t stamped as my hutch lil shot is a early with no stampings

[Nosnod]

Early US made Hutch's had no serial #, then in about 83 they started putting the serial # on the inside of the rear left dropout.
Any serial # on the BB signifies that it was built in the Far East

Its definately "Kelly's"

In this order:
Oldest US made (thruster-made?) no serial
Middle US made serial on rear drop out
Newest Taiwan made serial number on bottom bracket.
