What's the different between Ashton pipe logo in script or in printing form?

[francli]

Hi all

Most of Ashton logo are in script, what I see. But this time I found a logo in printing form, please see the image.

I checked pipedia and another forum and found that year 1983 Ashton logo was in printing form. But seems the "H" is different style. Also, the year 1983 was stamping "Made in London England" and with a date stamping "3". And size stamping was no circle around. This one, only "made in England", no date stamping (seems after 1990) and size with a circle.

Could you share with comments?

I've never seen the block style Ashton name, only script.

Me too, I have 2 Ashton, one is 1985, one is 1996, all script. So this one is strange.

Ah, if pipes were stamps
A different script or misprint/over-print sends the price up a thousand-fold
