Date code on Blackstone radiators? 200

Does anyone know if the stickers on top of the radiator are indicative of a manufacture date for the OEM Blackstone radiators? The radiator in my '90 has a sticker that reads '9722' - which optimistically means that my radiator is just about nine years old, or if it isn't a date-code, means it is nearing 17 years old and overdue for replacement.

Thoughts?

Hi Zach;

My rad was replaced in 1997 and I have a date sticker with 9725 on the top (Blackstone). So I'd assume your rad would be a 1997 model.

hi
i have seen dates posted on oem blackstones, but not on a sticker and not on the top. seems to be stamped into the plastic.
look on the sides, or near the bottom.
good luck
mike
