On the right is the first Hemingray No.9, offered BEFORE the drip point patent of May 2 1893. On the left is the same mold, modified with a dripped base mold plate. These often have what essentially look like ROUND drips, but were probably made before it was decided what shape to actually go with. In fact, it appears they had not really decided what a No.9 would ultimately look like either!
