I was under the impression that Masi numbered the frames sequentially, when they reach 1000, the one was replaced with a zero, thus making Dale's Masi the 1157 frame. Brian indicated that all of the first 200 had numbers, and that the first 25 had a sequence that was discontinued. #0275 would indicate the 1275 frame made. I've got two frames without serial numbers.
