    Knob stampings on this one don't matter at all on this one. It's clear from the barrel labeling that it is a foil stamped late 1970s labeling (post Mantle career) store model.

    Depending on the length I would say the "branding" on the knob will read MM3, MM4, or MM5.

    Agreed. I was asking for the stampings on the knob to further make the point so people can learn something more for themselves going forward. Along those same lines, the quality of the wood in another variable that differentiates it as a store model.
