Hi Melody
This came up in another topic and I wanted to get the answer correct from you. I had heard many years ago that the date you have stamped on the base of your Windstones is the date the actual MOLD was made and not the date the sculpture was made. I’m sure you can use molds over and over again. So even the modern day Male and Mother dragons are being cast with the original date of the first casting. After collecting for so many years it does seem to be true since all my Emperors, Males, Females etc all have the same date on them for some reason I just wanted to confirm this and was wondering if there was a specific reason you did this??That is the copyright date. That is when the sculpture was first published. The oldest Windstones, such as the little hatching dragon, will have 1984 on them. The Female griffin wasn’t published until now although the sculpture was started in 1985, so she has a date of 2006(I think) on her.
