Serial numbers are of little use as I have found no charts for Murrays and efforts to obtain that info from the company lead nowhere. From what I have learned through various WEB searches,they where made from around 1955 t0 the mid sixties. The ones from the fifties seem to have the name Skybolt 64-X while the 60s models are simply skybolt. I'm not sure what year the numerals were dropped. On the older models the seatstays butt into the frame while the later models have the seatstays welded to the outside of the seat tube. This is not cast in stone but I'm reasnably sure is fairly accurate from numerous photos I have veiwed on the WEB. Its fustrating that so little info exists on Murray bikes. I have a Murray Jet Fire(boys) and a Skybolt(girls) that appear to be form the mid 60s. Hope this helps. John Metz
