Mold Variations

Double Petticoat Mold

This Hemingray embossed version is embossed with "Double Petticoat" on the rear skirt. Note the wire groove is lower down and the insulator is slightly shorter than the other molds. This mold style only appears in [030] and [040] embossings.

Later Hemingray Mold

This was the last style of Hemingray mold produced. Note the more narrow top that flares out to the bottom.

No Name Mold

This style mold can be found on the No Name CD 145s produced by Hemingray: [010], [015], and [020].

H.G.CO. Narrow Skirt

This is the uncommon Narrow Skirt mold. Instead of the 3 1/4" width of the standard H.G.CO. molds, the narrow skirt mold is only 3" wide.
