Sometime in 1954.  Here are some pictures showing the change in the courts.  The new, smaller courts were what were already in use in the Bee brand, I think.

Thanks....I appreciate you.

I didn't realize that it was that early and thought it was at or around the time tax stamps ended.

Did the placement and color of the date stamp on the AOS change at the same time?
