I tend towards modern Murano - but am willing to be corrected >:D.

KevinH:
The date cane appears to be hexadecimal ... "78h8" :)

alexander:
Fratelli Toso judging from the canes, I have seen labelled versions.

I emailed the seller shortly after it was listed to tell him it was 100% Murano (IMHO).

Well - not really ;): hexadecimal only goes up to F (for 15) - would have to be vingesimal (base 20) to inlude H. Then "78H8" converts to "59548" (decimal).

The vingesimal system is also known as the "Mayo numbers" - could someone familiar with the Mayo calender possibly tell us which year this is on our calendar?

Anyone wanting to try other numbering systems - check http://www.convertworld.com/de/ziffern/Vigesimal.html.
