[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 187841, member: 1969"] I've been looking up the various ways to try and determine tobacco age from tin dates. Not to be confused with archival/artist tin dating, but more concerned with the contents. So far I have-- [size=4][u][b]Known:[/b][/u][/size] [b]Cornell & Diehl[/b] - mmddyy [b]GL Pease[/b] - mmddyy [b]McClelland[/b] – 1st 2 digits = product ID … 3-4th digits = batch code … 5th - 6th digits = year tinned. [b]Mac Baren[/b] (old method) – AABBCCCD (A = Machine) (B = Year) (CCC = Calendar Day linear number) (D = Shift) [b]Mac Baren[/b] (new method) - date printed on can [size=4][u][b]Assumed:[/b][/u][/size] [b]Dunhill/Orlik[/b] - yymmXXXX? (vertical left, next to UPC) [b]Peter Stokkebye[/b] (branded/variations) – yymmXXXX? (vertical left, next to UPC) ---------------------------------------------------- Anyone else have any leads or anything to add? [/QUOTE]
