Yes, Bill and Rosanna Harris made many Characters under the name of Royal Bell Limited and they had three carvers, I believe it was only three carving them!
I also remember a Mannie Sanchez making them as well, also in Colorado like Royal Bell but I have no idea how he marked them to designate his carvings!
I had sold some of Dick Delongs characters back in the day and I know how he marked his, in the area below the slot machine cabinet at the top of the legs and he usually just carved his name with a number designating the character!
Talked to Jim Schaffer on the phone and he has no idea either but I did send him the photos you emailed me Bob but he inferred that if I couldn't figure it out he doubted he could but he did say that he thought there was only about 6-8 people doing carvings so that is where it is here on my end!
