    Plumb Pudding vs Abingdon

    Castello Reg. No.

    Buona sera! I’m wondering whether anyone knows how I’d find out when Castello stopped stamping their registered trademark number on their pipes. I haven’t been able to find an answer online. If anyone has any knowledge or leads, it would be much appreciated!
