This is where we could use some help from Shopsmith.

Just how long was the anniversary party. When did it begin and when did Shopsmith quit shipping 50th Anniversary Models?:)

Was every Mark V (505, 510 or 520) sold during that period an Anniversary Model?

Some of the Mark 5 goldies were 'Aniversary' edition. but definitely not 50th.

I found the sales order made out to the original owner, and my 2005 model did indeed ship as a 520. Someone did a poll a while back, and I seem to recall that 2005 was near the tail end of the "golden anniversary" models.
