Gottlieb - The wax templates were NOT handmade. They were thin sheets of wax on special paper with the inscription as the blank areas. They were made by decal makers. Although superficially the same, there were many makers. The Rohm signature does not vary much if at all.
Absolutely correct, people often confuse this fact, the templates were mechanically produced and applied by hand. There should only be minor variations mostly in letter thickness due to time in the acid bath, ambient temperature, age of the acid, etc.
