Fire1981 Posted October 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 I would think the E would be backwards as well. Check your stamps🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamrock Marbles Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 It looks like the letters are raised on the glass surface. If so, then the text was stamped/engraved into the mold. Someone used a regular stamp set instead of a reverse stamp set. Can’t imagine this item brought big money at the Five-and-Dime. So, no real loss. Was probably fixed when the mold was worn or damaged. I’ve seen guys stamp all kinds of stuff on serial plates. You have to visualize it in reverse. Just imagine an engraver for the US Mint! Everything is flipped! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted October 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 I still think if it was flipped the E would be backwards. The numbers 657 numbers aren’t backwards. 🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of the backwards thing--Good eye Fire!!! There are a few instances of this found--or like finds--different though. Remember when these were made. Sadly, back then, not everyone had a good basic education. I pass by my Fil’s school every once in awhile—it is 1/3 the size of my not too big house—I suppose that I should cut him some slack-------he is pushing 90--. Akro--on!!

Al Oregon Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Maybe there are two parts to the stamp and only one part was done backwards.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
