Kasimax Aero date

<< < (5/5)

GavinKent:
As I understand it, those that were sold as new stock in the 90s would've been the remainder of those that were manufactured in the 80s and the year on the dial was for the 80s decade only, hence the last year digit only and no need for a reference to the decade.     

And if they'd gone on to manufacture the same model and colour into the 90s, I assume they'd have used a different dial or other means of recording the year rather than starting over again on the same dial - so they could differentiate between those manufactured in different decades - I hope!!  :D

Update - Not being able to make sense of this and being as anal as I am, I have done a little more digging. Now, I don't have any Kashimax saddles anymore so all I have to go on is other makes, but I have two dominators that have no date stamp and one that does, the red and grey do not and the black does. I also have two 90's saddles that have a date stamp, but they either have '93' in the middle to denote the year or two dials (separate month and year dial). Pictures to follow.
