This may have been asked before, so I apologize ahead of time, but when acoustics were made in the Westerly plant which was put on first. The ink stamped date on the neck block or the empressed stamped serial number on the back of the headstock?

For flattops at least, the neckblock stamp was put there on completion of the rim, which occurred before the neck was mounted:This may have been asked before, so I apologize ahead of time, but when acoustics were made in the Westerly plant which was put on first.

Sometimes not searching is a minor annoyance but in this case I forgot that Al and I had hashed this out before and, at the very least, things are not as clear cut as I want to make them. So I kinda want to thank you for asking again.Thanks gentlemen. That 2011 post by Hans was also very helpful. I figured this question had been asked before. I will have to spend a bit more time searching the forum next time.
