One of the hammered pin Sepia Sawcut bone TC's from 2021. I reckon Charlie is the only one that might know how many were hammered pins.

It has "HP" hand written on the tube top.

Some just have a red "H" - I can't remember how many; but they stopped hammering them early in the run - maybe after 30 or so?? Too many cracks, appearing!!
You need an OLD Cutler to do that correctly and flawlessly!!
Where's Stan Shaw when you need him??!! R.I.P.

I wondered if it might have got washed in Clorox or if a previous owner might have worked at the Clorox factory, but, the washed out leaf color lead me to ask the question.
