Here is one oddball H.G.Co CD 145 with the embossing that was almost turned off, during rework in the mold. This is where someone clearly goofed as the taper on the dome has a step on it when they turned up to 2/3 way on the dome. It looks like a 4-5 piece mold...I wonder if this is the mold where there is an "H" on the dome only. I remember those embossed with an "H" only being almost the narrower style..It had to be a different mold after this was reworked more..You can see the shatter tool marks on the embossing area where the toolmaker attempted to remove the H. G. co. Also there is almost no threads inside, almost a wavy treaded area...One of my oddest H.G.Co B-hives I've ever found... thanks
