I have a bolt on D-10 Emmons with a changer end plate stamped serial# of 2605 and it does NOT have a "D" or anything stamped after it. The list provided on the forum is stated for serial #'s that include a "D" after the number. A friend of mine has the same Emmons steel guitar and his is stamped 2615, and nothing else stamped after that number. His is a 1966 year build, would I be safe to say that mine is a 1966 as well?????

If I had to bet. I would say late 67 just before they switched to 1xxx-D type serial #'s. 66 models are generally in the low 25xx's and lower with no D. I have no idea about single necks.

Iâ€™d bet that itâ€™s a â€˜67 as well. I would also bet that there are a lot of people out there with bolt ons from 67 that think theyâ€™re 66s. Seems most people assume that all metal neck bolts are from 66. I have two and theyâ€™re both from â€˜67.
