Red Dot on Stem?

Edited for capitals. See Rule 9! -jpm

Does anyone know what maker used a red dot on their stems? Basically, just like Dunhill's white dot but red. The thing is that I've seen these stems on ebay and other kind of sites on pipes that shouldn't have a red dot as far as I know, like Orlik. Is these just some frankenpipes or is there a company that used a red dot to identify themselves?

The famous 'Red Dot' from that well known Chinese pipe maker 'Wonghill' perhaps?

The only brand that comes to mind immediately is Ser Jacopo. They used a red coral dot on the top of their stems throughout the '80s until the late '90s.

Pretty sure it's the pre-War Dunhill "EVERY28DAYS" - if it smokes erratically from time to time, look for the "PMS" stamp on the other side. Good news is it is now vintage so well past the problems most had with this model, bad news is you'll have the occasional hot flashes in the bowl, so watch your cadence.

nice. thanks the helpful info and the jokes! I was interested to know because it never seemed right. The pipe I was looking at was an orlik, well stamped, but it had this red dot stem. But I know that orlik has a white 'o' on the stem.

Pipe Maker has a red dot ? surrounded by a white dot.

Blatter & Blatter from Montreal has a red dot on their stems. Making pipes in Montreal since 1907. This is my Blatter poker.
