I saved this one because of the unusual color but I discovered something really noteworthy when I examined it. Just to the right of the Hemingray-45 embossing there is a blotted out W/T logo. This is the same size and in the same location as on the CD 155 Whitall Tatum, so this must be an old Whitall Tatum mold that was somehow acquired by Hemingray. If anyone has seen one of these or has any information on how Hemingray ended up with this mold please let me know. Thanks. Update - I received several replies but so far this one remains a mystery. Woody Woodward said that the Whitall Tatum molds probably wouldn't fit the Hemingray presses, but somehow this one was manufactured by Hemingray. Any further information is appreciated.
