[QUOTE="glpease, post: 44172, member: 18"] Patent numbers continued to appear on "plum" coloured pipes even after the change of script, and after the patent numbers were discontinued on the other finishes. I've also seen things to indicate that, perhaps, the older "fish" script and the newer upright cursive one may have been used concurrently for a time. I've also seen quite a few of examples of small dots with upright, newer script, and, in fact, have had some in my own collection. During transitional periods, there's always some murky water. Steve put a great deal of research into his piece. Though it may not be 100% accurate, and he'd be the first to admit that, it's almost certainly more reliable than Rick's minimal discussion in his books. One is the result of a collector's passion for a marque, coupled with the examination of hundreds, if not thousands of examples and discussions with many other collectors. The other simply a journalist's attempt to provide some information on one of a great many classic brands. I know which one I think is likely to be closer to being authoritative. ;) [/QUOTE]
