Firewall date stamp

[Bob Johnson]

Is the firewall date stamp Day Month Year or Month Day Year? Or did it come in both styles?

Bob,
Like, if I turned my BIRTHDAY numbers around to 18-12-35, would I BE/FEEL YOUNGER?--Just took a 3 hour nap, STILL feel like CRAP! Joe Huston, '50's ROCK & ROLL is helping ! !
NEVER found a date on Vermin, my June '29 Coupe & there's a weld, obscuring the factory code----And the mysteries go on! The Dog interrogated him on a hot day, NO fan & with my LED worklight in his face & HE WOULDN'T TALK

It is the US ''reversed'' system which confuses us Down under.
We use Day, Month ,Year.

My Cambodian friend says that in his homeland, they use the Family name FIRST, then the Given Names LAST! Confusing when he fills out forms here, like, LAST NAME________,FIRST NAME_________

Steve Plucker's study only speaks to the mm/dd/yy firewall stamping, no mention of the other way around. In the study he asks for anyone with information to contact him. If you have what you think is the dd/mm/yy let him know.

The dates may look confusing as many are stamped upside down.

Month/Day/Year on mine...and upside down...

Where is this date stamp located on the firewall?

Mine is on the engine side of the firewall, above the steering column, and just above the fuel tank seam, and a little outboard..the nut you can just see in the picture is the most outboard on the drivers side.

Steve Plucker's site has more specific information...that's how I found out about it....

I was pointing at something else in this picture but this is pretty close...

I work in accounting, paying bills. It gets really confusing when the invoice date is something like 6/5/15. Is that May 6th or June 5th. I have to look at where the invoice originated since many of our suppliers home office is in the UK, but have offices in the USA.

Also,it's only on the 28-29's,not the 30-31's.

Just when did they stop stamping firewalls ?
Mine has a 8-8-29 date.

My 1928 Roadster Pickup is missing the Stamp. Engine dates it November 1928 ASSUMING it's the Original Engine.

I have a 1929 Briggs Fordor with a date stamp of 8-21-29. The engine number is 2,270,076 which is a 9/06/29 engine build date.

I believe the latest number referenced on Steve Plucker's site is 8-23-1929.

I read somewhere( probably Steve Pluckers site) that the stamp had to do with the tank assembly date....so when they changed to tanks that fit under the cowl instead of the early ones that were part of the cowl and firewall, they stopped stamping....

And, like everything, not all were stamped.....

My frame serial number date puts it at a 1/29/29 assembly, and the tank is a 1/21/29 as shown above...

It's my understanding the tanks stopped being stamped about September 1929.

If anyone has seen a later date stamp it would be good to hear of it.

September 1929 is the latest I have recorded.

That would be nice!

The thing with Bob's dated tank is that it has "dashes" between the numbers. 4-6-28...Hs anyone seen later tanks with "dashes" between the numbers and if you have one could you please post a photo of it?

This is the only one I know of.

Thanks.
