    Inland without the Month only Year

    I was in a couple of other forum and came across a Topic from CMPicon about some Inlands they have seeen a 44 and a 45 without the Month and there are pics of tbem. The 45 picture was not there no more, but ive been searching for a month on mine '45 Inland and cant seem to find a month. Now did they marked the month very light and besides the name and year are there but very worn, but all i see is the 45, Thanks

    I think it's just a worn die that skipped...

    Probably because the die was started a bit more to the left side on some. The last digit of the date is right under the ''M'' in motors where it should be. My 1-44 Inland has the ''1'' so lightly impressed till you have to hold it just so in good light to see it.

    Barrels with no date at all are pretty common, but I wasn't aware of those with only a year. - Bob

    Won't hurt anything as far as I know. It's still all there as they marked it. Hasn't been altered.
