Can anyone enlighten me as to the origin of this board, and possible year of it’s birth?
My educated guess says it’s a Joel Tudor from about the mid 90s

Good educated guess. Do you see any shapers mark or #'s??
Early Joel Tudor from the 90s?
What does the Pi symbol with crescent mean???
That’s just a stylized T, as you can see in the name “Tudor”.
Pics of the board were posted in a collectors’ group. The guy who has it was asking for info. He is in San Diego. DUH!
I told him to take it to Mitch’s in Solana Beach.
Think they might know something?
Oh, and he was under the false impression that it’s a 60s board.
I meant to say this sooner; Stu Kenson and Bill (?) Shorsbee shaped those boards for Tudor at differant times. DT may have shaped the earlier versions. I’m thinking the first Model T I ever saw was a Takayama. Not absolutely sure of the DT connection. Shorsbee signed the ones he did. A good friend of mine has a Model T and it is blatantly signed by “Shros”.
Hank Byzak, also for a time shaped Boards for Tudor. I have no idea of the dates he shaped for Tudor. Bob Sakota was a Ghost shaper for TD in the 1990s. he did a lot of the production Boards as well as Boards that DT was doing for Tudor and Nat Young.
