New Westminster and Berard Inlet Telegraph, 102 on the right shows the unembossed nwbit. Not only is there a comma on one side, there is a dot on the other. These have been circled with a marker. This is a 3 piece mold. Mold line runs between the two spots. There is embossing blot outs running most of the way around the piece. The blot outs don't seem to correspond to any marking in the hobby. This example is greener than any marked NWBIT I've come across. Next to the unmarked one is a light sage. This is the deepest green marked one I have seen. The unmarked one is slightly taller than the 8 marked ones I have examples of. Have not had a chance to compare other unmarked pieces. Would love to find an unmarked purple. Price guide lists one.
