Default Obak question-stamps on back
Posted By: Steve Murray

Because the 1911 Obaks already have a factory number printed on the card I've never thought the stamps to be that though it is possible.

Other explanations may be that they are quality control numbers akin to what we see today "Inspected by No. 30". Or they are batch numbers or printing run numbers.

Importantly the grading companies (at least SGC) have recognized that the numbers originated at the factory and no longer downgrade them due to the stamp.
