When was the word " Proprietors" stopped being used on the figures (1 Viewer)

I am trying to figure out how to date several figures that I have. I understand the figures with the dates were used until the 1920's but when was the word " Proprietors" dropped from the molds. Thanks for the help.
Stay Safe and Well,

Britains' hollowcast pieces never stopped having 'Proprietors' as part of the copyright engraving.

My guess is they changed when they started new metal production in @1982. If I recall correctly they still had it on the metal bases of their plastic herald productions but again I’m not 100% sure on that. I’m digging around in my references and haven’t found a definitive answer yet.

I will keep looking
