How Many Guilds Were Made in 1953?

Is there a hard number, or at least an educated guess, as to how many Guilds were made in 1953?

Serial numbers are between 1000-1500, but does that mean that 500 guitars were built in the Pearl Street shop?

Seems to be a lot of guitars for five employees to make by hand, especially as they were just starting out. Did they just "borrow" Epiphone's production process?
