Hi Red,
Thats true and I put it on the hamb but it seems like that forum doesnt have nearly as many guys interested in the actual old stuff as they used to. It got no replies over there. At least you guys are good enough to respond and because of that, I apologize if I came off a bit short in my last reply. You are a valuable contributor here, so sorry about how I worded my reply.
Also, in order to close the loop on my question I thought I would provide an update. I emailed Tony Baron who is, I believe, a son of one of the guys who started the Thickstun-Baron-Tattersfield company. He says he has originals and the old patterns and that they all always used the actual company logo, not just letters set in the mold as seen on my intake. He wondered if it could be an early (70’s-80’s) reproduction. I wondered if it was maybe some unauthorized reproduction. Either way, it sounds like its not original. So bummer for me.
Thanks,
Scott
