Top glaze-rest Fred Locke U-608A. It looks like the bottom half of the 1-8 embossing, but I can see no trace of the patent line. Are any of these known with this embossing alone? If the stamp was tilted enough for the top line to not appear at all, I would have expected the bottom of the incuse to be deeper than the top. Whatcha think?
