A. O Smith
A. O Smith, Glascote, Permaglas
Second letter is the month followed by 2-digit year
A through N is January through December (excluding the letter I)

Thats the same info I have for trying to decode.
Sorry I couldn't help more.
Do you have a picture of the plate?

This might help.
AO Smith- 2nd letter (sometimes first i.e. Kenmore and GSW) equals the month and the next two digits are the year.
