Default Re: 8" Timing Cover, 13 vs. 31?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Rixls6</div><div class="ubbcode-body">With the cover flipped the other way, it sure looks like it could be the 69 13.

Were they always dated with the week coming first or last?



Here's another that has its date with the year first.

It can't be &quot;69 13&quot; since the numeral &quot;3&quot; is backwards!

How about 69 18-with part of the 8 being not stamped?

It would be no more difficult to stamp the 3 upside down (which would make it look backwards) as it would to stamp the 1 upside down. Same probablility.
Haven't looked at dates on a lot of covers from 69, but if the year is normally first, it would most likely be 13, with the 3 upside down.
