I would guess a re-stamp due to the pad surface.
Another stamp pad

Shemp,
52 inches on the ground from the last two snow falls - thank the good Lord for a snow blower, as I was able to stay ahead of it - problem was then getting out of the sub-division where I live

The surface has too many, fresh looking, horizontal sanding marks. Still, it may not be a re-stamp. Could be somebody got overly aggressive trying to clean up an original pad.

On my display,I do see a little bit of something between the 0 and the 3, that's kinda half moon shaped. It certainly could be whats left of old numbers. Mike has got a good point, it does look like the stamping was done after the new broach marks. Probably a re-stamp.

Do you really want to know ?
Hi, If you really want to know you can send pictures of the pad , the trim tag, the ser # plate, casting # on the block and block date to Al Grenning . For $ 200.00 ( last time I checked ) he will study them and give you his opinion.
It could possibly be a factory grind out and re-stamp . There are lots of them out there .
Regards Bill Purdy

. The ops pad is not original (broach marks?) and seems fairly obvious to many of us novices that it "just ain't right." Good info to know about Mr. Grenning if someone wanted to go that route.Chick

To Chick
Hi Chick, I have been told that all they used to do the grind out at the factory was a hand file . That may explain why they didn't always get all of the origonal stamp out .
