Does this stamped #1 look correct for Tonawanda

Just curious, since I have seen so many variations of the number one stamped as 1 or I, does the 1 in the photo look correct?

Thanks

Thanks Barry. Have had some members disagree with you and show correct stamps with the same #1. Why do you think it is a restamp?

I's instead of 1's have been used/seen/verified many times on Tonawanda BB's

Not sure if this will help but here is a picture of my 327 engine stamp. This engine is in my 56 and is not original to the car.

Thanks for the opinion Barry. The 024 is correct. I assume your not an authority on the issue; however, I appreciate the opinion. Received lots pictures to confirm the stamp is original. Including the one attached above. Thanks again.

How can anyone tell one way or the other when it is painted?

Unless you're comparing to another pad pic with a very similar date and same suffix, there's no way to tell for sure. Add it that it's out-of-focus and painted and any guess is just that - a guess.
I have several close TKO pics, this one looks OK, but there's a couple of things that may be a problem. Can't tell without a better pic (preferably with no paint...).

Here are some 0s, 2s & a 4 for comparison. These are confirmed originals.
