I know about the Emmons Push Pull serial number list. Does anyone know of a list for the Emmons LeGrandes?

Experience and time spent here on the forum tells me "no".

There have been a lot of forum discussions about this, Jack Strayhorn has always said that serial numbers don't track consistently with ship dates

| LeGrandes started at 001L and went from there as each body was constructed. If an odd color was built at number 500 it could have sit on a shelf for years before being built up as complete guitar unit. Thus, a black guitar at number 700 could have shipped the same day as the odd colored 500. The numbers have no date relation what so ever. A black guitar in the 800 range was built in the early-mid nineties but the only was of knowing exactly is by calling and having the warranty card pulled. |

That said, there are a lot of known ship dates and serial numbers posted in various threads if someone had the patience to weed through them and compile a very rough timeline.
