There's a date stamped on the lower right front corner of my `28 roadster's gas tank. Now I know that the date on which the gas tank was manufactured probably doesn't necessarily coincide with the date of the car's production ... but it's something that was NOT present on any of my later Model A's (`29 and `30).

Does anyone have any information about "date stamping" on the Model A? When did the practice start and end? Just curious since my roadster is about to experience it's 85th "birthday"...
