All Model A frames were not stamped,although the U.S. ones were supposed to be.Canadian frames were not stamped.I've had two unstamped A frames.One is sitting outside my cellar door right now,it is the cleanest unrestored frame I have owned.To grind deep enough to get rid of numbers you would leave behind divots from the grinder.That frame is dead flat and perfect from front to rear.When I did portable blasting I went out and did a 30 frame that showed no numbers.After blasting we found the numbers just ahead of the rear crossmember.
