Unusual to me anyway. An undated Rock-Ola barrel. It looks like a large font partial U or C underneath the barrel, opposite of where the P proof stamp is. One might find an import stamp in this area, but I am not sure this is part of that. Any thoughts appreciated.

Maybe it was a accidental proof p?
It may have slammed down on something.

It looked "man made" but could be a ding. Doesn't sound like any marking would normally be expected there. Thanks for the reply.
