In browsing through the Tinsky article in Pipedia, I noticed a picture of a stamp with the following:
American
Reg No_
0485/*Z 7
Now I know it's American Smoking Pipe Company, April 1985, but the *Z 7 puzzles me. Other pictures show CR (Curt Rollar) or MT (Mark Tinsky) in the stamp. Is the *Z a shape, and 7 the grading?
Anyone in the know?
Thanks
