Ah ha! So the big one I have is not marked. Second is 00173, gonna say 1994 for the one with the handle and the last one is actually 00171
So we have unknown, 1973, 1994 and 1971. Way closer than I was!

Reply to Boots that will last by GrilledCatEggs
Jim Green Razorbacks. I'm wearing mine now, and they are the most comfortable, versatile hiking boot I've ever owned. 2 years in and the soles are still fine, and I walk more that 30 miles a week with them, but since they are goodyear welted, they can be resoled easily.

Here is the base from my 1969 Stanley Vacuum Bottle. If you look to the left of the logo in the center, you can see the date code stamp. It’s much smaller and less distinct than the other texts. In this case it is 00369, which is 1969.

Bottle brushes work well. I usually fill with boiling water and a little white vinegar and let it sit for 10-15 min and then scrub with a bottle brush and rinse.

Reply to Recommendations on desk chair by houstontexansfan05
I know alot of people are suggesting aeron. And it is a great chair. But it is definitely more work oriented. Hard to slouch or sit cross legged in it. I recommend the staples 'Hyken' mesh chair. And its in your price range

Those definitely sound like odd date codes. Are you able to send me an image of one of your bases?

If you look at the base, you’ll see the “Aladdin Stanley vacuum bottle” logo in the center. Just to the left of that is the date code stamp. Older vacuum bottles have the date stamp in other locations, so check out this GUIDE for more info.

Ribbon is pretty standard and still available. I replaced it a few months ago, and the machine types beautifully

I’ve got a few of these I grew up with and I’ve never been able to sort their age from the codes on the bottom. They just don’t line up or I’m missing something
Huge one - N945 12-(B)
Smaller Aladdin - NO. A-1357 Quart Wide Mouth
Aladdin with handle - NO. A-944DH Quart (94)
Lastly a NO. A-943B Pint which is stamped 0117

Don’t other people do this? I have 3 pairs of a particular boot I like in my closet that I have never worn. They stopped making the boot in 2000 so I wanted to make sure I had some pairs for when I needed them. They are surplus boots so the cost to do was almost noting and I have enough pairs of my go to boots to last me forever. So I can see buying a few of these, if you like them, and they are not being made anymore. After 30 years i know what I like so no reason not to get some backup of whatever it is you like.

On the holes on the arms and torso I would pop some patches. Plug the holes and add customization.

Reply to Need Recommendations by Mission_Bear9543
You are asking a generalized and vague question which will lead you in circles and not get you the answer that you seek.
We need a budget. $1000 boots are a thing and fine for some and not for others. Along with this, a look/use case would be nice as there are turtlenecks and fashion turtlenecks and turtlenecks for warmth.
Have you used the search engine? You are asking about 4 products and we have spoken on each many times. Have you read https://www.reddit.com/r/goodyearwelt/comments/kfbe17/gyw_for_women_brands_and_notes/ which speaks to boots?

Reply to comment by spluga in What are some quality 10K+ mAh Power Banks/Portable Chargers? [November, 2022] by Speckz5701
OK, I switched to an Apple-branded USB-A to Lightning cable and Klein ET920 tester, verified with an Apple 10W USB charger that it did 5.07V 1.68A on an old iPad Pro with Lightning connector (it was 87% full so probably not drawing at its fullest).
When put on the Nitecore on, it did the same 5.07V 1.56–1.68A whether I turned on slow-charge mode or not. At this point I think it's a placebo, and if you want fast charging up to the rated 18W you must use USB-C, but on USB-A YMMV depending on the cable.
This also confirms my feeling that every power bank maker should adopt the Anker 737's status display feature, and that a USB multimeter is a must-have accessory.

Any chance you or someone, could share how to affix a year of manufacture to these?

Do you wash it regularly? Any cup will last forever as a toothbrush holder if you clean it.
