<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SBSVC, post: 3979057, member: 136&quot;]Diane, I don&#039;t think that the date range given has much to do with the <i>actual</i> <i>production span </i>for that particular jar.</p><p><br /></p><p>The info given in the link Kiko provided was originally included in an eBay sales listing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Certain eBay sales categories are divided into date ranges that allow similar items of similar age to be grouped together - supposedly, to help buyers more easily find specific things. (Listings for Christmas ornaments, for instance, are grouped by age range.
