Hello Mark,
I did find my notes - not an easy thing on a Monday morning... : )
 
In 1968 Bill Oury made the first after market grip MX Grip. It did not have the ribbed lines between the grip and flange. They were made in Green Mt. Falls, Co.
In the early 70's Willard J. Merritt Jr. took over the company, had a new mold made to include the ribs. He moved the company to Wheaton, IL.
 
Thank you for your e-mail.
