  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Anyone know of there's a decoder for these? Just picked up a couple of tins of Frog Morton to get me through the winter and saw this on the bottoms.



Wondering if I lucked out and there's already a year on them, or of its just wishful thinking and a random lot number?

Thanks!

The codes on the bottom of McClelland tins go like this:

The first 2 numbers are the blend
The second 2 numbers are the batch
The third 2 numbers are the year

Google fu for the rest as I couldn't remember off the top of my head
