The top row and the first two insulators on the left of the 2nd row are all BUTTON TOPS. The rest are 3-Piece Molds of some type. Technically these are all 3-piece molds since the mold line does not go all the way across the dome. Here is some of the line-up. Some of the THREADLESS WITH A BUTTON TOP include:
