I can confirm the M47 Patton displayed at VFW Post 9473 in Reynoldsburg, OH is SN 2620, identified from the front tow lugs (it seems to have been stamped on both.)

I was at the U.S. Army Transportation Museum at Ft. Eustis on 18JUN13 and saw this M4A3(75)W and M60A3. Neither of which I recall being mentioned before.

Couldn't get close enough to see any s/n on this M4A3.

The s/n on the M60A3 appears to read 3687A while the reg number off of the glacis looks like 9B9153.

I was at the Virginia War Museum in Newport News on 17JUN13 and saw this 2S1. It's not mentioned on the register but was mentioned in a post on this board several years ago.

California - Patton Memorial Museum, Chiriaco Summit - The M4 Composite has SN 14480 on the right rear tow lug

must be 44480, as it fits with a production order of 580 Composites, from SN 44228 to SN 44807.

P-O

Hey P-O,

You're correct! I made a typo on the M4 composite - just checked the photos and it is 44480. Thanks for catching that. I've corrected the original post as well.

Cheers!

vagabond

Regarding the M26A1 in New Bedford, MA at Franco-American Square - as I noted in my gallery post, the SN is listed in the Registry as 1693 but the SN stamped on the tank is 922.

vagabond

The M7 listed in Marysville, KS is located at a different park than the one listed in the Registry. Its actually in Lions Park off N 16th & North St. The GPS coordinates are incorrect as well.

vagabond

The M41 in Danville, KY is near Millennium Park but the GPS coordinates and street reference (Rowe) in the register are incorrect. GPS coordinates are:
N 37 39.327 W 84 47.877

vagabond

Live Oak, FL location:

The M4A3(75) with fake mantlet and barrel is SN 2823 and located at 1416 11th St SW, Live Oak, FL ‎.

ShermanWasRight

Update on the Minerva, OH M3A3 Stuart-I checked the coordinates in the 2011 Register but came up blank, however a quick search shows it's now displayed at the "Minerva Veterans Memorial Park" at:

40.727316, -81.102327

Or 106 East Plain Street, Minerva, OH.
