This type of stamper used by federeal meat inspectors to indicate assessed grade of beef, "RED" for "Choice" grade and "BLUE" for "Good". These two grades and their coding was est'd Sept. 23, 1929 by the Canada Dept. of Agriculture, on recommendation of the Joint Beef Committee. Definitions of the grades were established, and 'official graders' trained to ensure uniformity. (Ref. 2 pp.38-39)

Fonction
