1931
Great Depression era
1931 is commonly encountered as a year—the early Depression era, when the Empire State Building opened and Japan invaded Manchuria.
As with any year used attributively, it can modify nouns: a 1931 Ford, the 1931 census.
In other contexts, 1931 may be a model number, address, or identifying code.
