Looks to me like the logo oval has casting texture and isn't smooth as would be left by a mill cutter.
Perhaps it is the paint that has the lumpy texture that I'm seeing although I think a see where the paint is chipped away, and the casting texture seems to show there as well?!?!

I think the same thing..... Milled off.

The Stuart logo isn't particular well-done on the S50 so I would imagine the builder filed or milled it off. Notice the cast-in bolt heads are gone as well, replaced with tapped holes and threaded lugs. I did the same thing on my S50, but kept the logo.

I'm unsure if there was some specific period for this, or possibly a sub-contract for some job-lot type work, but I have also seen Stuart Beam Engines that are missing the Stuart logo on the base, so it isn't just your engine. Perhaps it is just a simple case of the foundrymen forgetting to emboss the sand mold with the logo before casting?

I have what I feel is certainly a genuine Stuart S50 but there isn't a logo in the normal place, the space is there but no logo. was there any period when they didn't add the logo?
