Hi once more Clark.

I Did notice a signature and a date on the left extreme forward corner of
the soundboard. Couldnt make it out clearly. Didnt think that was the
clue... I was looking for a etched in or stamped on number. I will clean
this up today and see if I can get it clear enough to read, and look in
these other places as well.
