Here are a couple of recent purchases from eBay, both CD 219 Hemingray-660's with character.

The one on the left has a fairly significant underpour around the entire skirt. I've never seen one of these with an underpour before! You can just barely make out the top of "LOWEX", so that would make this [040]. I can't make out the mold & date code on the rear skirt (not enough glass), but I would guess 1940 or so.

The one on the right is a [070] from 1939 in honey amber with some white specks, milk stringers, and a radio treated pinhole. You almost always see these in olive amber, so to find one in a lighter shade is a real treat (no pinhole puns intended)!
