UPDATE: Yes Barry, and thanks... there are a couple more hives not pictured......H.G. Co "straight side" or "narrow skirt" and the H.G. Co Petti "K" mold tall dome.. I don't have a narrow skirt/straight side yet, which for some reason has alluded me? Go figure... Anyone got one reasonably priced or a trader?

Since I hadn't seen a picture posted showing the Hemingray Beehive Production line I decided to post it....so here we are at least what I have compiled. Based on just the shape variations (which don't include the H.G. Co. Petti flat dome K or the "H" dome embossed no name, which is similar to the Bar/Bar "H" dome embossed - having a narrower skirt circumference than that of the the H.G. Co. "H" dome). I think it would make sense to add either dimension, pics, or both for each to the guide. CD 145's include: left to right........Hemingray - 21 in Clear "narrow dome" (not defined in the guide), then next the No 21 is on the reverse (not a narrow dome variant), then next a Hemi double petticoat (similar to a postal), then next is the H.G.Co. Petticoat, then next to that is your standard H.G. Co with dome embossed "H", then next a straight Hemingray only embossed and finally the CD 147 Spiral version. Obviously there are others embossing variants - (letter/number sizes and positions of), and drip point styles.............The point here is..... there are seven distinct lines of variations you can collect and expand including everything different contained within each of those, so there is always something out there to hunt for. I found an "H" (dome embossed) no name hemi product which is quite rare by my observation based on looking at shows, E-place and posted information.......... so keep looking and "finding" and informing us fellow collectors of your finds.....good luck!
