Or perhaps he sealed the mouth of the piece with a cork during soft leather condition 
and did the stamping then. 

I was lucky to have fired at East Creek several times in the 90s, and at Jewel Creek 
with Tom Kearcher several times following, and at Pleasant Hill with Tom Rohr. 
After Tom died, with Jesse Jones and his crew. Learned the most at John Dix's place
in Japan near Sasayama. Was there for two months in 2016. 

Cheers, Hank
