Hi, Victoriannam. :-)
Per Lane's FAQs, serial numbers should be deciphered as follows:
*snip*
You can read the serial number BACKWARDS to determine the production date.
For example: serial number 753150 would have been produced on 05/13/57.
Some chests may also have an extra digit which denotes the plant location.
For example: serial number 2557121 would have been produced on 12/17/55 in plant #2.

So that would mean serial number "2964130" would translate to "Made at plant 2 on March 14, 1969."
That date of manufacture is supported by the design patent listing (patented February 20, 1968):
