Hi there Thrifty and thanks for joining us. No, the numbers don't have any signifigance that I can find and are probably just a model or pattern number. Towle, of Newburyport, Mass. is still in business and dates back to the mid 1800s. When you get your pot polished up, take a nice, clear close-up photo of the marks and perhaps we can narrow down the date range for you.

Regards,

Uncle Vic
