block numbers

on the side of the block it says, April 01 72, the other side says, 2780930-340- 6. what does the second number mean and what is the -6?

The 2nd number is the block casting number, and the -6 just means that it is the 6th remake of that cast.  Unfortunately several people I know have the -6, and thought they had a 6 pack block, but that's not the case.
