My '65 tire tub

[Ernest S.]

I'm cleaning up my tire tub and lid, and was looking for part numbers, or
stamped date codes. The only thing I could find was a manufacturer code (I think) molded into the fiberglass. It's laid out as follows :

a 15/32"x 1/4" ellipse, with capital letters MFG inside of the ellipse.
directly below are a row of 1/8" numbers 19146
Is this the only number that can be found on mid-year tubs or lids???

Ernie...

I believe those are the only markings actually molded in. The date stamp, if still visible, was an white ink.

Rob, Thanks for your input. While cleaning up my tub I found another similar
molded in symbol and number. In the top of the tub, between the two rear
mounting bolt holes it appears as follows:

a 5/32" x 1/2" ellipse with 1/8" capital letters " MFG " inside, and directly below, 1/8" numbers 19154
could not find any date code stamps, still not sure if these are
manufacturer code numbers.

John,
Thanks for your reply. I can only assume now , that the numbers below the
ellipse are part numbers.
