Jeez! what thumbs did I use to write those numbers?Hi, Cool box, thanks for adding the photo. By "Lot 968", I take it you mean "Lot 468". From the examples Ive got it looks like the lot numbers in September ranged from 458 to 468. With yours being numbered 483 and dated October, they were obviously pumping them out. From memory we made about 6 million during WW2. Ill try and get some photos of other boxes for comparison. Come on Kiwis I know theres a lot of Ford Mills boxes out there, lets see some photos. Cheers Colin
