My wife bought this for me for a few bucks a while back, and I forgot about it until I came across it this evening. It's stamped "STARR X" and "PATD APR 1925". Do you guys think it's the real deal? Thanks all!

Thanks for that AR8Jason! Based on what I could find online, I thought so also.
Thanks for all the LOVE clockerman, chevy59, Longings, AR8Jason, and mikielikesigns2!!
Thank you trunkman!
Thank you for the love shughs and Trey!
Sorry Jason, must have missed this one, Haven't seen your around the site lately, Hope all is well with you and yours.
Thank you Kerry, I appreciate that. Things are well. I've just been spending a lot more time lately on some longer-term projects with my *real* job. Hopefully in a few months I'll be able to get back to what I really love (this stuff) more!
Jason, just a short comment to wish you and yours "Happy Holidays" and thanks for all your support this past year, very appreciated!!
Thank you for the kind words Kerry and Kevin. I appreciate that very much, and the same Happy Holiday wishes to both of you, and yours. I am also hoping to be able to spend more time at CW in the new year, as I just completed (a few days ago) a Masters degree that has occupied most of my time in recent memory. But, now I should have the opportunity to focus again on collecting, and my wife and I are both looking forward to that!
Jason, Congrats on your recent accomplishment. Very impressed. Will be watching for your return to the forum.
Kerry
