Hi Ray,
Not one of mine. At least, I don't remember it. :)
Any chance of a picture of the rest of the writing?

thanks Ivo, so 84 is not the date then? as the company ceased in 1980, so is this piece pre 1959?

no idea what those figures mean or how they got there. Maastricht ended 1972 (courtesy of Leerdam) and the Max Verboeket pieces with the colour twist date from the sixties. They're quite abundant over here.
