Does anyone know how to tell the date codes on the 1930-31 steering housings?

The one in the guidelines for the A-3550 C housing shows a picture with B-2 and a hexagon stamp. Mine is A-3 and a hexagon.

The guidelines say deduct if date later than the car build date.

What date are these examples?

thanks

Resolved. The A-3550-C housing with the big "F" does not have dates, just factory mold code numbers. Only the A-3550-C housing with the small "F" has dates to be concerned about for judging.
