Just wondering if anyone has found a use for the numbers moulded on the underside of GW bases?

Aside from playing the "who's got the highest number" game.

They're probably lot numbers of some sort. I work in a factory (although we make juice) and we have numbers for things like telling us which lane the pouch is from as well as which filler the juice is from. The numbers very well could be indicating to the people working there which machine was used to mold it (as well as which factory it's from, I don't know if they have multiple factories with the same molds).

Yeah I thought that could be the case too.

But have you found a use for them?

Like mebbe you like to play tiddlywink roulette or something?

Oh, oops, now I feel stupid. I misinterpreted the question. I tend to ignore them, actually.

No need to mate.

It was kind of a duel question, designed to provoke either beard scratching, or some absurd responses.
