Could you please post a picture of it many of us would be interested in seeing it

Jeff, I will try, but it may mean I have to bring in the Geek Squad, my computer skills being about at the level of a 5 year old. I have a scanner and that's a start.

Pat, it is indeed. You have no idea the amount of angst you saved me. Please bill me for your labor. Many thanks, John

Happy to assist John, no charge and nice "Shappe" example.

Almost anything like this is from the transfer used to lay out the stone/plate not adhering properly.
Same for the ones with cut off sections of names, and messed up names where the transfer tore and got messed up.

They'd be only from one position, and only on that plate.

One of the cutoff names.
Either from a bad transfer, or overzealous erasing of the registration marks.

it does look a little like portions of "detroit" have been repaired, either by scratching them in or by adding a bit of another transfer.
