1908
Edwardian era date
1908 is typically encountered as a year—the year the FBI was founded, the Cubs last won the World Series before their long drought, or Ford introduced the Model T.
When someone says 1908 in conversation, they usually mean the calendar year.
It may also appear as a model number, address, or other numerical designation.
