Do you guys think the Radio King was actually engraved on the hoops or was it part of a mold or stamp? The more that I look at them from different time periods, the consistency appears to be too good to have actually been engraved.

[COLOR="DarkRed"]I see what you mean...they are too identical to one another is what you are saying. Could be...I mean, maybe "engraving" is just the common terminology, albeit a misnomer, which people used over the years to describe it.....[/COLOR]

I have an early '36 Radioking with a real engraved and not stamped "Radioking" logo. It only was on those early ones...

And I'm sure the engravers used a template which would have made them very similar, if not identical.
If insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, is it insane to practice?

Hey VA,
So am I correct in assuming that the later ones were stamped?

I think I'm going to get a stamp made. It sucks trying to polish or replate and work around the logo.
