4 Digit Date Codes.
This is the data I’ve collected on 4 digit codes that appear on some of the newer globes. For globes from code number 1187 to 1097 it appears to me to be the month and year that the globe was manufactured. I’m basing my theory on the fact that all of the first 2 numbers fit within the limits of a month, 01 to 12 ,and the last 2 numbers have all been between 87 and 97. The later codes from 0404 to 1014 I think is the manufacturing date given as the week of the year and year. All of the first 2 numbers have been between 01 and 50 and all of the second set of 2 numbers has been between 04 and 14.
If you have any information or another theory please let me know. For clarification this list has every globe that I have seen with the 4 digit number and so far none have been out of the ranges I would expect.
