dustin Posted November 7, 2013 Share #1 Posted November 7, 2013 This is another data collection attempt and since B-4 life vests are pretty common and probably in many hands of forum members I was curious if anyone has a vest with a manufacture date earlier than October 1942...hence the Pepsi Challenge. Thanks for your participation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyCanteen Posted November 7, 2013 Share #2 Posted November 7, 2013 Dustin, I will say that I have never seen one earlier than that date. Good luck, may the results prove interesting. RC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustin Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted November 7, 2013 Hopefully so! I probably won't be surprised to see a September 1942 but for sure would be if one earlier than that surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Leader Posted November 9, 2013 Share #4 Posted November 9, 2013 Hi Dustin, Here my earliest B-4, clearly dated from October 22 1942. Mathieu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustin Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share #5 Posted November 10, 2013 Thanks for posting Mathew...looks like a clean vest! Upon standardization contracts for substantial quantity contracts were released and this is one the 11 from 1942. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
