Jack Webb's production company Mark XII.
At the end of the credits a hand came in the shot with with a XII stamp and stuck it with a hand sledge hammer.

With ex-wife Julie London awaiting her cue. Too bad their marriage didn't last, but he sure treated her and husband Bobby Troup well for the rest of his life.

Cry Me a River! Route 66! Just the facts, ma'am! Glad my brain still works.

Hey, DG, I've heard that the hands wielding the Mark VII imprint and hammer were Jack's. Any dope on that?

Ken IMDB identifies Harold C Nyby as the one striking the Mark VII Limited stamp. Harold Nyby was Jack Webb's construction foreman, and was selected because of his huge 15" hands, the same size as Sonny Liston's hands.

Now there is a piece of trivia for you.

Thanks, DG. Your input always amazes and informs.
