Well guys, I'm stumped here!
The year sure looks like a 7. I know the '854 block was not a 1967 introduction. It is possible that it could be found with a mid-year 1969 date, but I've not seen one with an earlier date. Could this be a 1977 date? Possibly a service casting? Does this "7" font ( for the year ) look correct for the period? This is a mystery to me..... ![]() Steve

If it was a service casting wouldnt it have been stamped with CE but theres no way thay cast a 854 block in 77!

Guys!
Another question to add to the pile: Shouldn't the hyphen between the day & year actually be a screw head? See these images I just dug up. This is another '854 block: A '512 block: Steve
