RCBS press year of MFG?

[15meter]

Picked up an old Rock Chucker, while cleaning it up I found a two digit number stamped under the 7/8 threaded in bushing. Checked my Rock Chucker II, and found a similar number.

Did RCBS mark year of manufacture on their presses like they used to do on their dies?

RCBS did stamp earlier presses with date (year) of manufacture, I don't think they do today though.

Yes, under the bushing is where you will find the date stamp on the rock chucker. Mine read 78 and 79.

My RC has "82" stamped on it, which happens to be the year I bought it :-)

I bought mine new in 1973 and it is marked "73"
