The disclaimer was removed from the card (in 1972, I just read; it had first appeared there in 1946) because an overwhelming number of non-governmental businesses and agencies had come to use it as a de facto means of identification over the years.
This was the engraver we used in the shop I worked in. Early 70s. Park stand, Suntour two prong removers (many), etc were taken before the Sheriff came. Partners got into a dispute. Rent was not paid. Left us teenagers to run the shop. Wish i could have scored a Gitane TDF instead.
