Title: Upside down L vent code
Post by: ramsfan on October 24, 2012, 05:54:57 AM

I recently picked up a red kettle that has a vent code stamped with the letter L from 1989. The L is stamped upside down. Does anyone know if this has any special significance or if it makes it rare somehow? Just curious...

I think they manufactured the vents, then hand-stamped the codes onto them, per year.......
Some of the ones I have look deeper than others, or at a slight angle......
I also have a sideways "K"

My '88 Joe black is a sideways "K" also!

Are they upside down or sideways?
