Default Age of Kemore Furnace

I need some help with the age of a KENMORE furnace. I look at PRESTON'S under Sears and can not find any information. Serial # L973943023, Mod. # FBF075B125. What do you think about the flame.

Thanks! for your help.

Kenmore is a STATE product (I believe). Therefore the first letter is the month followed by a 2 digit year.

L97 = Dec 1997

He means the "I" is skipped in the date code sequence.
