Default Holy Crap! Kindergarten kids stamped my block. What do I have here?

This is just bizarre. While I was playing with my ignition today I decided to have a look at my block serial number and found this....can anyone here decipher this? Yikes.

The original Canadian s/n is clearly stamped, but then there is a mish mash of crap ending with a star. The block casting is C1BA, heads are EAB.

I have read where C1BA actually had 4" crank in them...a couple of guys from Canada, one in Calgary and one in Ontario. I haven't been able to contact them to confirm... and I know the only way to really find out is to pull a head which I am not ready to do...yet.


So my guess is 1951 or '52....239...but who knows. It's the second stamping that has me confused.


Cheers
