Randall - Does the Cape Meares have a label on the bottom typical of the rest of HLs or is it just blank felt with a label that says Artist Sample?

A "Counter Sample" as Harry refers to them has just plain felt with notes written on the felt or on plain white labels on the bottom. If there is no regular label with the HLs normal info then you have probably what is referred to as a Counter Sample/Artist Sample and there are only 2 of these done (one for the factory and one for HLs to approve the painting format before going into full production.
