According to the "Colt's, Dates of Manufacture" booklet by R.L. Wilson. The 1908 Hammerless .25 shows the 1914 starting serial number at 102000, 1915 started with 119000.

I have a Vest Pocket 1908 Hammerless .25 (1916 vintage), that my Father passed to me. It is a fun little pistol. It shows wear from use and has some rust/peeling of the plating in the slide serrations. With this I was offered $325.00 trade credit at a LGS. I also saw a blued version at the Gun Show and the guy was asking $650.00.
