I am hoping one of our GEC fans can help me with these GEC numbering questions.

1) I have a #73, whose no. on the tang is 735111. However, I just noticed that on the tube, the no. is 735111T. Can someone please tell me what the "T" signifies? Is it possibly for "tube" to indicate it has a lanyard tube?

2) I also have a #25 EZ Open Jack whose no. is 252109EO. On two places on the tube there is added a red "4". Does anyone know what the "4" signifies?

Thanks,

Andrew

Right on the mark for the "T" and for the number 4 on the other package that would of been placed there by the dealer so as not to confuse one from the other when the pictures were taken and displayed for sale....Great Eastern does not mark their packaging other than the label on the back side.....
