Montgomerie (Dubai) ball markers

Upon closer inspection, I noticed that there appear to be different production runs of the stemmed, wooden ball markers from The Montgomerie.   I came up with seven (7) varieties from the lot of markers that I have:

Variety Surface Face Level Face
Thickness
Color Stem
#1 rough flat thick light brown short
#2 rough flat thick medium light brown long, pointed
#3 rough flat thick medium light brown long, slightly pointed
#4 smooth slightly concave thick light brown short
#5 smooth flat thin light brown long, slightly pointed
#6 smooth flat thin medium light brown long, slightly pointed
#7 smooth flat thick brown long, blunt

First of all, different shades of wood had been used (see picture below).  In addition, if you touch the face, you will notice that it can either be rough or smooth.  Most of the faces are flat, but there was one that was slightly concave.


The marker also varied in thickness (see picture below): some were thinner and flatter, while others were thicker and more convex.


Lastly, the stems came in different sizes (see picture below).  They could either be shorter and thicker, or longer and thinner.  The ends of the longer stems ranged from being pointed to blunt.
