:sos:I picked up a couple stocks and need some help with some stamps. One is I cut, high wood marked RMC in slinwell, next to the RMC is a big R. It has no P, and has a small cc near the grip that is pointing to 10:00. So my Question is it a Rock-Ola made for Rock-Ola? Thanks.....Frank
RMC for Underwood without the maker stamp maybe? Only I don't have my books here with me to be sure. There is no UEF or RMC in a box near the cartuouche?
No U.E.F. or RMC Bill, that was what threw me. No stamp on the right side except the small cc near the grip pointing to 10:00. After we figure this one, I have another that has me scratching my head.....Frank
That sounds almost like an SP then. Check WB but I think RMC may have dished out stocks to SP early on??? Is the cartouche a real one?
Yes on the cartouche, these were very dirty and oily. They were in an old Farm Bureau feed sack. They all only showed type one band use. The RMC with the big R in the sling well was puzzling. Thanks....Frank
Sounds like an early RMC stock for IBM. Possibly the R in the sling well is a partially struck B. The small cartouche and location next to pistol grip sounds like IBM. hth.
Thanks dbarn, I have the stock out in the shop degreasing. I'll check on the possible "B" and get some pics, but probably not today. I have been on a quest to get an RMC stock for my 4.5 Rock, I now have two but not sure if either will work. We'll sort out the other one next.....Frank
Under the magnifying glass it does look like a large partialy struck "B", it is to the right of the RMC stamp in the sling well. Do you think I have an early IBM made by Rock-Ola?.....Frank
Yes, that would be my guess.
Wheres that Painter at? This is right up his alley.
Curt, I was hopeing he would way in on this.....Frank
He is recovering from a near death experience brought on by a horse kick to the ribcage. I'm not kidding about it. He's back, but has to take it very easy for a while.
I know Jim, I was just trying to call him out.:surrender:Quote:

Jim, I think we all are aware of Charlie's terrible accident. When he is up to it I will welcome his insight.....Frank
Here's a pic of the RMC and B stamping, on a Type II Oval I have with a small barely visible CC.

Charlie, thanks for the pic. The one I have is I cut, highwood. The "B" is somewhat closer and the small cc is on the right side of the stock, near the grip. There is no P on the stock. Do you think therefore this is an RMC to IBM early stock? Thanks.....Frank
Having the small CC, I'm sure your holding a very sought after I cut IBM stock.
Charlie
Hey Charlie. That's enough for one day. Get back to bed!
Glad to see you back, just don't overdo it.
John
Thank you Charlie, you made my day!! The stock has only the type one band shadow. I do hope you are on the mend. I now how long it takes for ribs to completely heal and you have aways to go. Take care and no sudden moves.....Frank
