I just acquired a tin and my two ending numbers are 17, so I assume mine is from last year.I bought some dusty Frog Morton yesterday with the date 450211. I know this means 45 (Blend) 02 (Batch) 11 (Year).
Indeed! That was fine up until about 2000.... Now you can get video'ed, arrested and pilloried.Pulling the top off would be an exciting way to start.
