Default Where comfort grip steering wheels dated?

I have a black comfort grip steering wheel. I noticed that there is a "C" stamped in a little divot on the back of them wheel. I have another one and I believe it might have a different character. Just curious if this is significant? Terry

Hi Terry,
Perhaps the letter identifies the mold the wheel was poured in?
Here's an 'A'.
Regards,
Alan

Default Thanks for responding.

Yep, that is it. I have two steering wheels and both I believe have different letters stamped in that little divot. "A" might be the first mold?

Cool. I don't recall anyone ever talking about these letters.
