Bose 901 low serial number set (3 digit) with "patent pending" sticker


I have inherited a pair of Bose 901's that were just removed from the first time since they were installed (early 70's?)
We have tested them out and they work, but I am having a hard time trying to get a year and possible value.

The serial numbers are LOW. (#499, #452) and the sticker is typed and says "Bose Model 901 Loudspeaker Pat. #3,038,964 Pat. Pending"

Anyone have any idea where I can get info?

I looked up through the attic door and saw one of my wife's original series 901s. Still looks new. When the guy demoed them for her he actually plugged the speaker cable into an AC outlet for a minute, to show how TOUGH they were. No she didn't buy the one they plugged in. LOL

I'm sure they sound the same way they did 37 years ago when I put them up their.. Cloth surrounds.. and they are HEAVY.. Still have the original stands too, somewhere.. The EQ is JUNK.  2 Hung HIGH and 2 stand mounts with super tweets and subs.. Pretty good for the time and a GIRL..

She use to complain about greasing the stupid bearing on her Garrard, it DRIPPED into a catch can it was her Dads.... LOL

Yesterday she moved the speaker in the front room AGAIN.. YUP he will move a speaker.. BUT she tapes first to move it back.. Hers, Mine TAPE. LOL
