John,
Numbers were always stamped. Characters were 1/8" height until approx 1967,
3/16" thereafter. The company used at least three different typefaces in the
1/8" pattern. The prefix and main number was block stamped, with the final
numeric character and any suffixes stamped separately. This means that most
of the number will be well aligned with equal weight to the stamping, with
much variation in the weight and position of the final number and suffixes,
Cheers,
Bill.
