CD 154 - Type III, Mold L7

Color: Blue Aqua w/green swirls, tiny bubbles
Base Type: CDP:w, slanted inward

piece courtesy Steve Blair

Features: Lettering is strong and even, with both rounded and triangular edges. On front, L logo is weaker with rounded edges; LYNCHBURG is strong with triangular edges. On reverse, lettering is strong with triangular edges; both 4s have long horizontal lines. The mold number is die stamped and weak.

Additional Information: This is the second CD 154 Lynchburg mold with this number (CD 154, Type II Mold L7), a rare occurrence among Lynchburgs. It is uncertain whether this is a reworking of the original Type II, Mold L7 to repair deterioration of the mold surface, a modification of another mold, or a new mold. In any case, CD 154 Type III, Mold L7 is a slightly different shape, yet seems to have replaced the original Type II Mold L6, and so carries the same mold number.

Mold Number Location: on reverse above and between NO. and 44.
