Here's a picture showing the typical Hemingray mold lines. Take note of the rectangular area near the base where the mold lines meet. It looks similar to a repair and many Hemingray's have this. It is most evident on ...

Here's one you don't see too often. I did not even know these existed five years ago! Closely related to a Hemi No.8 Small Mold. Note the extremely sharp lower wire ridge edge. Just begs to be chipped and flaked!

The blue guy on the right is identical to the off-clear piece I have. Both are Large Mold [020] (with blots). The mint green one is new to me and is markedly different in the embossing. Note the very short "N" ...

Been asked to show the differences between the large and small mold Hemi No.8's, particularly the blot-outs. Capturing these blots with a camera has proven difficult. They are fairly subtle and have been re-engraved ...

On left the large mold variant with the blot-outs, on right the small mold variant with no blots. Notice the difference in size. One can really feel the difference when they are held in hand.

SB and dripped Hemi 106s. Identical (Covington style?) embossing and profiles on these two indicate that they came from the exact same mold - except for the crudely formed drips (some are sharp, some are rounded) which ...

I'm looking for info about the relationship in time and manufacturing between these two Hemi 106 [250]s. Notice the pronounced flared skirt on the right hand insulator; straight skirt on the left. The left hand ...

I pulled this guy off the GNW line where I found so many of his regular aqua without anything in the glass counter-parts. There appears to be two metal filings or shavings, probably from machining of the mold, all I ...

A great one for the CD collector. An unusual piece that came out of an antique store in Durango, CO. Normally, these have some damage to the ears, and this is no exception. However, there is no "plastic" on ...
