Geez, All this interesting Taylor talk caused me to run out to the garage
(in the cold) and see what I had.

Simply "Taylor Cast Steel" stamped on the back.  I am still holding out hope

Kirk in HMB, going to bed, its getting cold in here.  (No walks on the beach
today Steve L, but several over the weekend, but it was down in the low 50s
for most of them)
