I'll work on that... might take a few days. The top rib inscription is identical to second line of fig 14.17 on page 585 of TPS, except for spelling "STUT TWIS". This is the period before roll die marking, so it appears to be intentional by the engraver. The inscription also includes the same double punctuation (double commas). Lock plate also has double punctuation (PARKER BROS'').
