I want to revive this tread ... Great info on the Krate pan year differences but I have a question on the Sting-ray Seat Tags.
What "year" did the Krate Seat tag change from the Pat. No. D-204121 to just the Made in U.S.A.?

What "year" did the Krate Seat tag change from the Pat. Pend to just the Made in U.S.A.?

I found the answer in this tread ... 1970 was the last year for the Pat. No. D-204121 Tag ... 1971 was a revised seat pan with a centered "Made in USA" Tag

A couple Factory Original Survivor seats I’ve had for decades. No reproduction here. Very late 1969, early 1970 Cotton Picker seat that has a ‘69 style pan. The texture/ribbing in this non-glitter vinyl is OEM.
