The old adage is true. I was at the 2023 Early American Industries Association National meeting in Staunton when I saw the marking. In sunlight it was there. It was J & E NORTH BERLIN CT. Until then I thought it was an unmarked stake because the marking is closer to the end rather than centered. it is available here: J & E North Candle Mould Stake – Tinsmith
