Was my Andersen handle manufactured in 1998 or before?
After removing your handle, look at the part that fits into the escutcheon plate. If it is thick like the one shown in the first photo, then it was manufactured in 1998 or before. Newer handles have a thinner end like the one shown in the second photo.
