Most likely the first number identifies the serial number of the Notice
to Mariners (a list of corrections and notices usually published weekly
also rendered with the year as 45/33- #45 of 1933) while the second item
is the date of the notice (12/9 would be December 9). Charts that have
been in use aboard ship will also often have additional handwritten
notes of late updates. the abbreviation LNM signifies "Local Notice to
Mariners" which are issued by the local Coast Guard District and contain
local and more ephemeral information BNM signifies "Broadcast Notice to
Mariners" which are radio messages transmitting urgent information such
as dangerous wrecks or extinguished lights.

Joel:
If the letters are in small font below the neatline in the lower
left corner they may be correction dates. There are, in some cases,
"large corrections" and "small corrections" and references to the
'Notice to Mariners' updates.
John 'Chartman' Cloud will be happy to embellish.

I am cataloging a few of these charts, and they are a good bit later
than things I usually handle. I was wondering about the entries often
seen in the left lower margins, often with a format such as "43-1/3;
45-12/9", etc. I gather someone on this list knows what those printed
numbers mean, so I thought I'd ask. Most of the variants I'm seeing are
not currently in WorldCat, but even for similar charts that are, those
marginal numbers are not often listed
Thanks in advance for any help..
