The Whispering Giant is a perfect handle for this big guy. The X-prefix Noiselesses numbers from source 18 aren't up yet, but I happen to be in the middle of them now, so I can look it up..
X833251 would be the pretty much the very last days of December 1957. The first serial number of Jan 1, 1958 was X833257.
ha! the tiny typeface throwdown! :D
