With the new Doltpeg III piton design, I wonder why Bill only put the letter "T" into the Dolt piton symbol on the pitons. Maybe it stood for "Trademark?"

After Bill passed in December 1971, Don Lauria eventually took over the DOLT Company. Don was not creating Dolt products, but mainly selling off the left over stock. With all of the left over Dolt piton blanks, Don Lauria and Ken Boche forged the blades and made nut tools out of them calling them Dolt Nutcrackers.
