Thanks for helping this fellow out.
I was looking at these cones last night to see what should be done with this
inventory, and it looks like another mess to be untangled. One question I had
- is it possible to fit the boat mast into a hollow stud (not open)? Is it stable?
From the large image, it looks as though the boat mast has a rounded end:
* | | 476 Bar 12L with Open Stud, Tow Ball, and Slit (Boat Mast) Parts: Bar |
..but of course we get into trouble very fast with CAD images. If you have one
of these parts, could you test it?
The other thing is the problem with the printed cones. The "other" version is
this:
...which strictly speaking has an undetermined stud type. This part occurs from
1985 to 1998, but the B type occurs from 1990 to 1993, right in the middle:
Something doesn't add up in all of this. Any enlightenment would be appreciated.

Did not need to test it to help out the OP of the request, because I know a 3957
doesn't hold in a blocked or recessed stud. The boatmast is worse as it has
a splitted top, so even if it would fit in, the splitted top would certainly
not hold in tight.
But as you asked so kindly, I still tested it, no way this could work, the rounded
top is higher (and similar to the 3957 top) then the stud depth...

Yep, reason I stated this when replying the OP:
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=938623
It is something I'll be looking into when I get the chance, but as I've
stated before (as with the Vestas set that I didn't manage to dig up), this
is going in my to do book (it used to be a list, I had to upgrade to a book)
with no deadline, as most of my persoanl stuff is packed...
I do assume there is a catch with current entries, one option is to contact sellers
who are selling used sets (or used parts) to find out if an 'open' stud
exists with those stripes, the first step would be to have it added in catalog

Thanks again for the help - request approved.

Very good - we'll leave it that way for now. The printed nature of the part
would mean that a difference in stud type would be more likely than a non-printed
part, as it seems printed parts hung around longer waiting to get used up. I
may do a bit of hunting myself to see what may be seen.
