Weird Cap Code

I have a 52oz USA purple/yellow lava lamp globe that I found at Goodwill awhile ago, and I noticed it had a very strange cap code. I could not find anything in the lava library that matched this, and I have no other USA globes that have this kind of cap code. I was wondering if anyone could explain what it means or why it looks so different.

Lol sorry the picture is so small! I am not sure what happened, but I uploaded another pic of it under Photos and that one is the right size and big enough to read.

It looks like it could have gotten smeared off, scratched off, misprinted, or the machine that puts the code on missed.

( I fixed your picture )

The 125D signifies a 52 oz globe 25 color code, purple/yellow. There are probably 3 digits after that ( you can see the 8 ) but the rest is off the side. Naked eye should be able to read them, they are the date it was made. 1124am is the time it was made.

It is a odd cap code/stamp but I have several of them like that, its just something they did sometimes. It is a US made globe.
