Anybody know how to decipher the numbers in the lower left corner (under the bar code) of the sticker that Hohner puts on their boxes?

They appear to be related to production somehow. Does anyone find it useful to keep track of which harmonica has which number?

Thanks!

There was a post asking that question a week or so ago. Although the question was related to the date code system used by Hohner.

Nobody could really answer that. I was curious too, so I e-mailed Hohner customer support and asked very specifically about the label and date codes on the bottom of the box. Here's a direct copy and paste of the reply I received from Hohner.
I give this answer an 8 out of 10 on the Duhhh scale:

"The dates on the bottom covers of harmonicas , are dates when Hohner won trade show awards and they are still part of the cover design.

Sincerely
