It was painted white with a black glaze of all things. I scrapped off some paint and all I see is bare wood, so not sure if it was ever gold, etc. It could be Hubbuch instead of Hulloch, the stamp is really faded as it goes up. Looking at it with a flashlight, it looks like I see a shadow of a curve on what I thought was an L, so could be "B's". It is in all caps, so hard to tell for sure.
