The separate HL monogram and MADE IN wording differ from the shorter HLC USA version.

Production-code dates identify the pictured example, not the complete use interval of the design.

Undated

Lowercase script f belongs to the vintage ink-stamp family; this rule does not date every clay-impressed f.

Undated

The short HLC USA line lacks the standalone HL monogram and MADE IN wording.

1996

KKB decodes to 1996, second quarter; the uppercase-F ink design differs from the vintage lowercase stamp.

The 75th ANNIVERSARY inscription identifies the commemorative format; this employee piece dates to 2010.
