There are far more expert people on this board than me, so if I'm wrong hopefully they will correct me. I have a W.S. Riley with the chopper lump stamp. I think it was Henry Parson, not J. Parson. His chopper lump patent mark was a usage number above a stamped stone mason's hammer. I have a couple of pictures of the stamp if you would like me to email them. I pulled everything off of Photobucket and haven't got a replacement photo hosting site yet.
