Last picture in this series. Notice the 1 on these pieces is like the old-time prismic embossing found on earlier Hemingrays. The "1" is a straight bar "I" instead of the stamp-style "1" identical to the 1 in this font and found on all the other clear Hemingray 12s of this time-frame. The questions are: Have any other collectors noticed or found any of these pieces? Are there any explanations as to why Hemingray reverted to the old style embossing during the 1941 mold production?
