Comments
The "peaked dome" mold variant is considerably scarcer and hold a collector value of three to four times higher than the more readily found rounded dome variant. I have heard of two separate groups of the rounded dome variants that were originally found in So Cal, but to my knowledge neither group contained a peaked dome. Anyone have any solid information on where the peaked dome variants were used?

One known area of usage was in Southern California by a telephone company known as United States Long Distance (USLD), especially in the San Diego/Escondido area and toward the southern coast. Any other areas known?
