Allen Jenkins  moved the business  from Birmingham ,Ala to Liberty ,Miss  around 1 year  after he purchased the company in 1970.. All Lynch calls stamped in Birmingham, Ala  were made by Mr Lynch,, the calls stamped  Liberty, Miss were made by Allen Jenkins,,  todays Lynch calls are made in Thomasville,Ga

My Liberty 102 has a walnut lid that has developed the same gray patina. Purchased in 1978
