Trying to determine Snap-On Ratchet mfg date

[Realmongo]

I recently bought a nice working Snap-On F-70N Ratchet.
I'm looking at the date-code and it appears to look like a 9, so I'm assuming it is indicating 1939?

Pic of the whole ratchet might help

Okay, I snapped a couple of pictures out in the garage today:

Well If I go that far, I'd better bring some lube too.

Thanks, I never thought it would have been marked upside down.

Just don't try opening the car door - that'll set off a speech.
