GBD Century

[bluesky67]

My GBD Century shape 268 just arrived and it has S.L.E with an off set H stamped on it. Anyone know what this means?

Some GBD's have odd stamping of letters. It must have meant something, but now apparently lost to time. Is it a stem rondell or stamped logo era pipe? Most of the ones with letters seem to be the post-merger era pipes (stamped stem logo)

 

[ssjones]

I have several with the letters D, M and S after the shape number. No clue what they mean or reference.

It has a bronze rondell. Thanks for responding.

Blue:
The main GBD reference site is pretty inconclusive.
The Century was introduced in 1950 or, maybe, the 60's or 70's.
So post up some pix, okay? Otherwise, this conversation never happened and you're an insane liar.
