- The example entry says a Gillette D4 can mean fourth-quarter 1958 or fourth-quarter 1983 because the code cycle repeats.
Field notes
Users choose among makers and mark types—including guard-plate date codes, serial numbers, tang stamps, plant letters, packaging, and case markings—then enter the inscription as found. The archive distinguishes what an object can and cannot date: its example says a Gillette D4 denotes Q4 1958 but also Q4 1983, while a case mark dates the set rather than necessarily the razor. The page lists 34 makers, 94 models, 43 serial ranges, and 692 code entries.
