I found these vintage Florsheim Imperials with the original box a while back at an estate sale for $3! I couldn't believe the condition they were in. Even though they weren't my size I had to get them. I eventually sold them to a collector! Any idea on what year they may be from?

"IJ" is the date code where:

First character is the month. "I" is 9th letter of alphabet so September

Second character is the last digit of the year. J is 7th so year ending in 7

Ergo: September of 1969, 1979, 1989 or 1999

The 93602 was produced from 1957 to 1988 according to VCleat.com

so I would guess Sept of 1979
