Eight
styles
were
made
using
three
rear
and
eight
front
embossing.
The
ninth
style
being
the
only
round
drip
point
signal
produced.
The
way
we
remember
them
all
is
to
start
with
the
rear
embossing.
Three
were
used
in
the
seventy
plus
years
of
production.
The
first
was
"PETTICOAT".
This
was
made
with
four
different
front
embossing.
All
four
refer
to
being
patented.
The
first
was
"H.G.CO.
/
PATENT
MAY
2
1893".
For
the
second
replace
"H.G.CO."
with
"HEMINGRAY".
For
the
third
remove
"PATENT".
The
forth
removes
the
date
completely
and
replaces
it
with
"PATENTED".
The
second
rear
embossing
was
added
around
1910,
right
around
the
time
that
the
seventeen
year
patent
ended.
There
were
three
front
embossing
used
with
"No
19":
"HEMINGRAY",
"NO
NAME"
and
"HEMINGRAY/MADE
IN
U.S.A.".
The
third
and
last
rear
embossing
was
"MADE
IN
U.S.A.".
This
was
manufactured
with
one
front
embossing
"HEMINGRAY-19"
but
was
made
with
both
sharp
and
round
drip
points. |
