 The extra period in "R.EG." is a remnant of the "T.M." blot out. "PAT." is the only word not blotted out (since it matches both the old and new embossing). Clear $10-15
113 (F-Skirt) HEMINGRAY – 12 (R-Skirt) MADE IN U.S.A. {'N' is engraved over a sideways 'N'}  SDP   Hemi Blue $5-10
115 (F-Skirt) HEMINGRAY – 10 (R-Skirt) MAD IN U.S.A. {Note spelling}  SDP   Hemi Blue $10-15

160 (F-Skirt) H.G.CO / PATENT.MAY.2.I893 {Note extra periods} {Note 'I' in 'I893'} (R-Skirt) PETT1COAT {Note spelling} SDP Identical to [150], but the "I" and "1" are clearly swapped. Possibly a correction to [150]? Aqua $10-15
164 (F-Skirt) HEMINGRAY – 20 (R-Skirt) MADE IN U.S.A. {Note both 'E's are missing middle bar} SB Same embossing as [065], but with a Smooth Base. Aqua $5-10

238.1 (F-Skirt) [Numbers] / HEMINGRAY / MADE IN U.S.A. (R-Skirt) [Number] / D-514 SB Mine has a small mold number "5" aligned over the "5" in "D-514". Ice Blue $400-500
252

(F-Skirt) S / HEMINGRAY-62 / [Numbers and dots] (R-Skirt) MADE IN U.S.A. / [Number]  SB

 Identical embossing (mine is even the same mold) of [275], but with SB instead of RDP. Ice Green $10-15
257 (F-Skirt) MADE IN U.S.A. / HEMINGRAY / Nº60 (R-Skirt) PATENT / JUNE 17 1890 MAY 2 1893  SDP   Hemi Blue $30-40

Note: I feel this embossing is very underrated (there are currently only 4 known). Suggest at least in the $50-75 range to match the Hemi CD 112 SBT&TCO.
