Jsb batches

[angrybear]

No`s from left to right
Die No......39
Employee overseeing production... 00 (this seems to be unrecorded on all the tins I've seen, ie always = 00)
Quality Inspector........ 70
Year of manufacture... 12
BATCH..... 1
Head Size...... 4.53

Earlier tins may have a 7 digit number, like the yellow sticker above, they've dropped a leading 0, hence it's Die# 07 (Daystate Selects in this case, hence the S1).

Well, I've seen that original post/thread as well but it gives no machine press number and it's the press & die that matter.

I have an e-mail from AA telling me how to read the label on their tin (JSB made) which says press & die are all that matters, their first 2 are the press & best I can work out, by cross referring the tins, what you call the batch is actually the die number.

I'd also contradict the "always 00" bit because it isn't on any of my tins.

edit, I've just e-mailed them to ask.
