Vintage Homer Laughlin Backstamps
HLC started to focus more on hotel and restaurant ware starting in1960. They sold their vitrified ware under the name "Best China" for many years and developed a special date code for the backstamp. The first letter represents the year. A=1960. B=1961, and so on. Z=1985. When 1986 came around, two letters were used: AA. BB=1987, CC=1988,... ZZ=2011. In 2012, three letters were used: AAA=2012, BBB=2013, etc. The next letter started out representing the month, but that later changed to either an A, B, C, or D to represent the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters, respectively.
You may notice some Roman numerals at the end of a date code. These represent a particular glazing line at the plant. They are not terribly relevant, as the only significant information lies with the leading letter or letters for the year of manufacture.
