There's and extra digit added. Rol-A-Top serials are only 5 numbers, they never made it to 100,000.

I wonder if they are reading the serial on the paper inside or on the machine? I have seen the paper inside read 6 digits. Pictures below are of inside papers for Machine # and Serial # on same machine. Maybe this is the issue? Rick B

Watling RATs had only five numbers. The second photo is of a factory sticker. The first photo is not a Watling serial or a Watling sticker.

Both stickers are in a Revamp Rol A Top and thinking this is the number they are giving him? Rick B

I too, would like to see a pix of the RAT you are referring to, with serial #722183. My guess is that it is one of the
many revamps that were performed back-in-the-day.
Rick B:
Those two stickers, are indeed, in a Watling "RAT", Buckley revamp, just as we were discussing the other day, in
another thread. The #67750, is the original Watling factory serial, and the additional sticker with serial #500274,
was placed in the machine when the Buckley revamp was performed.
