Wade--I believe the folks in Texas continued using that logo for at least a few years. I recall them exhibiting at the IBMA event in September of (I think) 1993. They were experimenting with new top bracing that was lighter, by way of a series of oval holes through them. Their theory was that tone/volume would improve greatly and structural integrity would not suffer. They put one with the new bracing in my hands to try out, and it was truly a powerful instrument. I would certainly have taken it home if I had the (again, as I recall) $1750 they wanted for it! I also remember that they were trying to sell one to a particular well-known Bluegrass musician, however he wanted them to give him one as an endorsement deal....Bob from Mossman was not at all interested in giving them away.
I have no idea what became of the Texas-based owners of Mossman.

Bogle, my guess is that they simply aged out. The sense I got when they bought the Mossman brand name and factory equipment from Scott’s ex-wife was that they were ten or fifteen years older than Scott. I’m a bit younger than Scott, and I just reached my mid-60’s, so if I’m correct about those guys’ ages that would put them in their late 70’s or early 80’s now.
I could be wrong, mind you, but in any event they’re not exactly spring chickens... whm
