Samples of Manufacturer Backstamps
& a Date Code Table

As Shown in Restaurant China - Volume 2

Nine of the thirty-nine Shenango China marks illustrated on
pages 414 - 416 with usage date ranges and comments

Please note:
Without exception, if the date code on a piece of china does not agree with the backstamp usage date range listed in any reference book, the date code itself must take precedence. Because many date codes are poorly stamped on ware (portions of letters or numbers are missing), it is a good idea to recheck the code with a strong magnifying glass.
