These are all conclusions of law that would require presentation of evidence combined with examination of prior case law. I respect all of the opinions/conclusions preseneted here - I'm not a lawyer so I can't add much. I have had our attorneys take a look at it, but the facts are still evolving. We're pretty much repeating the same thins over and over now. We can be certain, though, that someday someone will develop a method of stamping cowls (they did it in 1969 - but they'll never figure out how to do it in 2010 - right?), and then this whole "pre-eminance of cowl stamps" theory will fly out the window.
This thread has been very helpful to me and I am indebted to everyone who has helped me write the "book" on 616414. Of course, all of the comments, PMs, etc. will forever be part of the story along with the comments of past owners. My investment is now down to nearly $375.00 per page! I have nothing to add; just a lot of rabbit trails and research to pursue. I won't be checking in, but if anyone needs/wants to get in touch - my email is on file here. I appreciate it when we can disagree without being disagreeable. It's a great site - when we meet, the beer's on me! Blessings, Bergy
