Hello, I have had this liner for quite some time now and I am really curious about the long mix of letters and numbers that are on a sticker in the liner. Does anyone know what it might mean? Thanks in advance!IMG_20210912_155337.jpg.e62e129bbb47458a6cd1606fbe3ccba8.jpgIMG_20210912_155309.jpg.d8b3dfb01cf10939faeb29a4b1a7c979.jpg

It’s a Defense Supply Agency contract number, the two digit code dates it to the fiscal year it was made in.  In your case being 1973.

 

I’m not 100% positive contract number is the correct terminology, I’m sure someone more knowledgeable can come along and correct me if I’m mistaken.

Can’t say I’ve ever really looked into it, but I’d imagine not a lot more then the date.

 

Inside the crown of the liner you should be able to find the manufacturer though.

My memory on more modern liners is a bit shoddy, but I’m fairly confident that your liner would be made by MarMac.
