Box code?

[seanbeer]

I came across the box code:

SOA
OCT 07
2

Any idea if the "extra" 2 after 07 means anything?

Not that I am aware of, may be some kind of factory thing but 'SOA' is the factory code and 'OCT 07' is the date so probably not too significant.

Oct 07 is the date!

Is this the box that you picked up from the same vendor as Mo's mouldy CoRo's? Hence the slight concern on their provenence?

[seanbeer]

Yes they are but from the tasting, I am sure they are good
But just happen this 1 extra no. Appeared so I thought I would ask

It's actually there to tell a bit of a story. The "inker," also known as the "stamper," is in charge of putting the box code and date on the box. The stamp usually reads like this, "ooooh God. I am so bored and poor. I work here at factory (insert factory code, which is an anagram for the dinner options being handed out that day). Let me stamp this month here on this box of turds... O my God it's (insert year) and I still hate my life and this stupid regime."

But your box code is very special. It reads quite differently. "Oooo God. I am so bored and poor. I work here at the factory of Soup Or Asparagus and I really want poultry. Let me stamp this month here on this box of turds... OCT. O my God, it's 2007 - oops! 2- Oh whatever. Whatever shit year it is I still hate my life and this stupid regime."

Do you have any idea how much this box might be worth?

(Not at all...heh heh)

Well I would price this particular box between $74 and $100.

(Oh wow! haha I had no idea. Thank you!)


SCREWED UP BOX OF SHORT CHURCHILLS $74 - $100

I think Larry is saying that we take this kind of minutia far more seriously than the person with the stamp.
