I have this rather nice billiard, made by the American Smoking Pipe co. It is stamped "5-87/CR [illegible]". Can anybody tell me if I would be correct in assuming the "CR" stands for Curt Rollar?

Got this from P&C.com..
In 1978, the American Smoking Pipe Company was founded by Mark Tinsky and his friend Curt Rollar. In 1990, Curt left the company to peruse other activities, but Mark continued on by himself building a solid reputation using quality briar from Greece and stem blanks imported from Italy, offering collectors a vast assortment of models and finishes. In short, his pipes are beautiful and well-made pieces that produce a taste beyond reproach. They are solid, handmade pipes for an affordable price.
I would hate to assume, but probably so...
