Anybody know the year of this Goex?

[Rigderunner]

Does anyone know what year this pound of Goex powder would be?
ive had this can since I was 12 years I’ve shot 3/4 of it over the years. It came with a Lyman Great Plains rifle in 54 cal bought for me as a gift

Guessing mid 1990's

I figured it was around my age or older and I was born in 93

Mine says "Annettes powder keg" $8.50

I think GOEX cans were stamped with date of production on bottom (or top) can’t remember which. I still have a can of FFF dated in the 1970s. Shoots fine

Could go back into the '80's looks like several I have from the late '70's / early '80's

I have that same can dated Aug 1976. I have few other cans I can't check the date on because they are in my storage locker.

The earliest "GOEX" powders were in cans marked NET WT 16 OZ (1LB) at the bottom of the back side as well as Manufactured by GEARHART-OWEN Industries, INC. I've got a can from 1973 ... Yours is a later can with ( 454 Gr) metric weight and Manufactured by GOEX. INC. I think duPont sold the Belin plant to this successor around 1972 and Gearhard-Owen dissolved in 1981 when the GOEX name then was used on the can, but this dating is from my old memory and could be wrong

Here is a can marked 2-14-93 on the bottom.

You said you were born in 93. Here is a can marked 2-14-93.

Nice I have a can that looks similar to that somewhere. But it’s probably not a 93 haha

My full can of FFFg looks exactly the same, and says 82FE25A, so I would guess Feb of 82.
It also says it's from the Belin plant.
I imagine that even empty GOEX cans are worth a bit of money.
Full ones are worth even more!

Don't know, but the presence of a Zip Code on anything places it 1964 or later. (I may be off a year or two on zip code start, but you could look it up.)

That similar labelling was done under DuPont; many of us older guys have our 1st can of DuPont on a shelf somewhere, hopefully fully empty!

I’d like to have about 10 full cans

I wish 'dating' of products was done more openly; BTW, we've all heard the joke about how do you tell when a container of Sour Cream has gone bad!

Finished off my can from '77 last year. Time flies, when you're having fun .
