I took these pics today as a before and after deal. Even though many of the writings do not show they should be preserved such as light sanding, wipe clean and varnished. I may sand the whole thing, to show the wood. Any idea as to what "Hampton 2247" means, you historians out there? Are these markings common. The first number is evidently a part number.

I have no basis for this guess, but perhaps "Hampton 2247" was the way the wood worker "signed" his work so the inspectors would know who created the part if there was a quality concern.
