mine is stamped C-5451.

my theory about the recess it he back is that it was so that the weight of the piece balances - i.e. the weight of the material is over the center of the base so it doesn't tip over.

another theory is that these were attempts at competing with treasure craft. most other napcoware items are mega-cheezy, like hummel ripoffs and those bouffant lady faces with the tammy faye eyes.
