This is the second of two. It is G.N.W.TEL.CO. CD 145 [010] in light blue.
Again the mold line runs down the threads to the wire groove.

This is first of two mold line inside dome pieces. It is H.G.CO. CD 164 [030] green aqua. If you look close, should be able to make out the mold line running down the threads as well.

Here is a "B" that i have a question about, there we a few replies, but what Dave posted did not really help. This is a weird short outer skirt "B".
This is the short stumpy B mold variant.

For yet another point of reference, here is a pic of the 3 AM TELs, note that one is Bkfld, then Hemi, then the mystery AT&T Denver mold, then a classic WFG Co from Valverde Glass works in Denver. I don't know who ...

Take a look at Brent's picture and his Reference Group No. 1. Here is my "Denver Mold" Amtel comparison. Same height, same thick base glass, but a shop number on the dome, and the non-Denverish color.

Close up of what I believe is a BGM CO - made AM TEL. These have been called "the Brookfield mold", but I believe it was BGM that made them. Only found in BGM colors, dome numbers that match other BGM styles, ...

Close up of the Denver Mold (as I know it ). The color were a Denver color, and the shop number on the dome were not present, this shape would certainly be a dead ringer for a WGMCo. As of today, I have never seen this ...

This is that "B" that I described on ICON, and is currently one of the best "Junk-in-glass" pieces that I own. It appeared as just another Brookfield "B" when I pulled it off the pole, but ...

Here's a guy I pulled off the pole myself, and I'm proud of it! Is he smoke, or is he gray? He's whittle mold, and he's in a beautiful dark grey colour.

Here's a Locke 'No. 135' that doesn't quite fit the descriptions in the Price Guide. Is it CD 287, a 287.1, or something else? The skirt profiles don't conform to either one (see the next picture), and the embossing ...

On the subject of Hawleys and quality control, this one has a weird dimple-top, as if the glass was too hot when it was taken out of the mold. Of course, mistakes like that just make our collections richer.
