Found it as a child originally, and found it again just now while going through old belongings.

Go to the us patent office website and search the patent number

The second and third to last are 6 or 8. I tried different combos and found something from the 1940s which seems correct however the drawing wasn't compatible with my phone.

So far I got is: 2319??4. I'll try 6s and 8s
