Please view the post in the Forum Support forum, it has a poll about making a dark mode (i.e. dark color screens instead of bright white) available. This can be of interest for those that access the forums from a mobile device as dark screens use less battery power. But we need to know whether enough people want this before investing the time to install an extra mode.

Post Your AOS chassis stencil stamp here...  I know there are many who do a frame off restoration. I also know that many would like to reproduce this AOS stencil markings.

Are you looking for a photo of the stencil I made or the frame rail after the application?
I gotta be honest here. I sandblasted & painted the frame long before I bought the C&LC Class 15 Authenticity Manual. I knew it should have the
A O Smith serial # & date. When I got the bill of lading from the GM Heritage Center, I knew it was shipped 9/30/1954. The frames were made about a month before that date. So, I used my birth date (8-17-54) for the stamping date & used my C&LC member # for the AOS s/n. I had a friend who had an old time rotary wheel stencil cutter in his shipping department. It took me 3 trys to get it right!
I know I saved that stencil to remember my late pal Joe Dillon. I will look for it.
