1935
Depression-era date
1935 functions as a noun referring to a specific year in the twentieth century, or as an adjective describing things from that year: a 1935 Ford, the 1935 hurricane.
Like all year numbers, it serves both to date events and to evoke a historical moment—in this case, the mid-Depression era.
