That would depend on what the date is on. If it's a cast iron part, like the engine block, intake manifold, etc.. it will be in the format of a number, a letter and a number, like 6M21. The first digit is the year, the second is the month, with M being december, and the last is the day of the month. On the year, they assume that you know the decade. The 6 could be 66, 76, 86. etc.. How to determine the decade is to look at the casting number. If it's like C5AE-6015-E, that's an engine block that was originally intended for a 65 model car. C is 60something 5 makes it 65, A is a galaxie, E means it's an engine part of somesort, 6015 is the group number for some kind of an engine block, and E means that it's the 5th design modification of the original component. If it's a piece of sheet metal, like a fender or something, it will be like a number, a space, another number, another space and then a number, 1 through three and a letter. That's month, day, shift and the letter is the plant that made the part, as in C is Cleveland Ohio, D is Dearborn Michigan. Some of the aluminum parts, like bell housings and some water pumps, have what appears to be a circle with some bumps around the perimeter and a number in the middle. The number is the year, and the number of bumps is the month, as in 3 bumps is march, 6 bumps is june, etc.. If you go to my blog at http://thecareandfeedingofponies.blogspot.com/ there is a section on date codes that explains everything, like distributors, production dates of the car, etc..

How do you decipher can date code on the bottom of Jheri Redding Alcohol-Free Mousse?

It is not clear which type of date coding is used on Jheri Redding alcohol-free mousse but most manufactures of beauty products use either the Gregorian or Julian date code system. The Gregorian date code is simple to read while the Julian is a little more complicated. In the set of numbers, the first three numbers are the amount of days since January 1, the subsequent digits relate to the year. You should find either code on the bottom of the product.

Look at the barrel on the left side, about a half inch forward of the receiver- you should find some very small letters stamped there. You may need a magnifier to accurately read them.
