Oct 22, 2026: We are working on protecting our servers against the PHP2Shell vulnerability recently discovered. Servers were upgraded ahead of schedule on Oct 21. This could cause some issues. Please contact us if you encounter any.
In addition to the initials, almost everything made has code numbers written beside or below; these index into a group account at insight-live.com where all details, since the 1980s, are recorded. Sometimes the numbers simply are the name of a production (e.g. top right is M325). Often, the numbers were for tests being done (e.g. the "L4131" top left). Sometimes a code number spreads across two lines (e.g. lower left is actually "P6842"). The monogram on the lower right is pre-2000, it was incised using a Kemper trimming tool.
