Yes, but the information you have is for the place of manufacture, not the
place of publication. You are guessing a place of publication based on the
place of manufacture, so when supplying the place of publication it would not
be a transcription. So it would either be [Charleston] or [Charleston, South
Carolina] because you don’t abbreviate the names of states anymore in the place
of publication element.

The information in the publication appears as “Charleston, SC”. Aren’t we
supposed to transcribe it as it appears?
