What can you tell me about a sweet sixteen S/N #G77935

In 1956 the serial numbering system changed for a "light weight" from "L" to "G". In 1956 they manufactured G1 thru G23000. In 1957 they manufactured G23001 thru G85000. In 1958 they went to a 2 digit identifier (number and letter) that preceded the serial number to identify date of manufacture.

So it looks like yours was manufactured in the latter part of 1957.
