I have a chart of Kodak date codes and I have really never tried to date any of my prints. My dad and I just watched Stagecoach today and the print looked excellent but my question is: the symbols on the film stock have a date of 1932, 1952 and 1972 and the film was made in 1939 so 32 is out but how do I know if it is 52 or 72?

You're welcome, but keep in mind I said "probably". I'm not sure exactly when the switch to printing "Eastman" happened, or if there are exceptions. It's just a rule of thumb I've used -- I think the switch to Eastman happened sometime in the '60s.
