The 27 and early28 had no date stamp on the tanks. You are correct!

Gas tanks were also sent to Dealers to solve leaking problems; an example is a 1929 AA that one of my relatives purchased new in Stockton, CA; 2 months after he purchased the AA, the gas tank started leaking around the steering column clamp; he took the truck back to the dealer and the next day it was ready; the new tank did not contain a date stamp.
