Da ich zufällig an ein Set alter greenbacks gekommen bin, musste ich mich auch mit dem ID-Code dieser schönen, alten Speaker auseinandersetzen...
Auf peter55 Anregung hin, poste ich hier nun meine Erkenntnisse, zumal sie seit heute auch von Celestion offiziell bestätigt sind.
Die von Celestion selbst herausgegebene Liste ist etwas verwirrend, da sie für den Zeitraum 1968 - 1991 den Schlüssel
Month (Buchstabe),
Year (Buchstabe),
Day (Zahl) angibt.
Tatsächlich wurde seit 1968 zusätzlich aber auch der Schlüssel
Day (Zahl),
Month (Buchstabe),
Year (Buchstabe)
verwendet, d.h.wie auch für die Jahrgänge 1956 - 1967 und 1992 - 2005.

CHASSIS DATE CODES
Since 1956, all Celestion chassis drivers have been stamped with a date code (2 numbers and 2 letters), denoting the exact date of manufacture. The codes are added on the production line and are placed on the speaker's housing leg or the magnet edge. The following lists provide an accurate record of the date codes used.
1956 - 1962
YEAR CODE MONTH CODE
1956 A January A
1957 B February B

1959 D April D
1960 E May E
1961 F June F
1962 G July G
............August H
............September I

The datecodes from 1956 to 1962 are written in the form: Day, Month, Year. For example: 15DE = 15th April 1960
