Here is the history:

I had no real "office" at TSR as I was the shipping manager and located downstairs,  But I was also the:

--Convention Chairman
--Doing design work
--Writing articles for SR and Dragon (i.e., From the Sorcerer's Scroll was created by me)
--Was answering all of the mailed in D&D questions before I left TSR

So...  I did a lot of writing when at home base or would come to TSR at night (I had a key like others).  In fact It was a contest between myself and my brother and Brian Blume (who usually trailed as the third arrival as he had to go to the post office) on who would arrive first in the morning.  When at TSR writing I worked adjacent to the art room in Mike Carr's office or, if Brian was gone for the evening, in his office sandwiched between Gary's and Mike's.

The stamp was ordered to be used in pre-stamping outgoing envelopes used for mailing back answered D&D questions, and was probably used in a few personal correspondences as well.  I used it to stamp those D&D books I used in referencing assertions pertaining to the rules as made in the questions, this because my own volumes were in bad condition at the time (I would ask Stratochamp to confirm here as to what date he purchased my original LBB).  The shipping department had extra loose copies of the boxed set books for replacement purposes, and this is where I secured the 3rd printing books from, but all of them, not just volume 2 as pictured.

I wish to thank the members here for their continued interest in TSR and my involvement (re:  ancient objects/esoteric information) from that time.

BTW:  I did not start smoking until 1979, so the latter post in this thread (re:  smelling of c. smoke) would not be correct in this case...
