The PG lists several embossing errors for the A T & T, CD 121s, like a missing bar in the 'A', but here is one I did not see listed. The center bar of the 'E' in the first 'TEL' is missing. I know there are collectors out there that enjoy this kind of stuff so here is one to keep and eye for if you don't already have it in your collection. I actually picked this $2.00 insulator up because it has a milky thread in the skirt. Didn't see the error until much later. Second picture shows the whole insulator.

Looks like the center cross bar was meant to be there. If I look close enough I can see where it started at the right center side of the vertical line. I don't believe they are as heavily embossed to begin with so mold paste build up could have caused what looks like an error.
