hmmm....you made me look at other examples. I have seen three types of the font where it goes from the "a" to the "m" in seamster. Some are like yours where the diagonal-up from the "a" is mimicked in the diagonal-up within the "m". Others are much lower from the "a" to the "m" where the carry from the "a" is at the bottom of the "m", not the middle. And then there is mine..... Also, I've seen three basic "e" types for the first "e" following the capital "S". Diagonal up into the "e" like yours, more flat/horizontal into the "e" like mine.
So, were these things hand stenciled which might account for the differences? Or were they machine stenciled in which case some are authentic and others are either redials or fakes? Any other tells?
Thanks!
