Jim, I do not know. However, I have a post that indicates an Anniversary Model 555861 one was purchased with serial number 04-03-02. Not the 20th anniversary.

Then there is this one. More in the time frame of a 20th anniversary.

edit: Here (http://www.shopsmith.com/ownersite/faq/markv.htm) is some additional info.

This makes sense to me as the first ShopSmith 5 in 1 tools were made in the 40's.
