According to the McKinley act, I would expect it to have an origin painted/stamped on the bottom. Other clearly more modern examples I found were not painted particularly well. I have yet to find one that has the same tile-like yellow and pale green pattern in the border - all the others have the key-like pattern.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
