N.B.
- ARMSTRONG and WHITALL TATUM have never had a mold number over 16 found.[6]
- The 1934 and 1938 HEMINGRAY sets have never had a mold number over 32 found.[7]
- WHITALL TATUM molds marked NA are known not to exist[8].
- WHITALL TATUM (None) mold set comes in two styles. A "pinch dome" and a "normal". Molds 1, 3, 4, and 13 are "pinch".
- HEMINGRAY 1938 mold set comes in two styles. Molds 19, 20 and 30 are "fat", all the rest are "narrow".
- HEMINGRAY 1938 mold set has blotouts reported for 6-8, 9 (probably), 17, 19, 20-22, 25, 27, 30, and 31. It appears likely that ALL of this mold set have a blotout, and the [050] EIN that indicates no blotout really doesn't exist.

- GAYNER - 1[AJG], 2[AJG], 3[AJG], 5[AJG], 6[AJG], 7[AJG], 8[AJG], 10[AJG]

- BROOKFIELD numbers 1, 3, and 4 are all backwards. The 3 also occurs as a "double struck" 3.

Footnotes
- ↑ Andrew Gibson. Only one mold year has been found.
- ↑ Andrew Gibson. O_4 is the only date marking found.
- ↑ Andrew Gibson. After discussion with Bob Stahr and Bill Meier at Springfield in 2006(?), it appears that the 1934 mold set was re-worked. The mold dates were blotted out, and re-engraved as 38, and the lettering was reduced in size. The would be the [130] with the blotout. It is unclear whether new molds were made or not, which would be the [050] without the blotout.
- ↑ Andrew Gibson. 43:: is the only date code found on this style.
- ↑ Andrew Gibson. Copies of Armstrong blueprints from Richard Wentzel show the mold for the CD 160, and they have a hand written "Obsolete 9/19/57" across one corner.
- ↑ According to this study to date.
- ↑ According to this study to date.
- ↑ Whitall Tatum did not use these mold numbers, on any of their insulators, per N.R. Woodward. This mainly refers to the Whitall Tatum insulators manufactured by Armstrong.
- ↑ Arlen and Gene believe that these are style numbers, not shop numbers. "2" is the only reported number, and other K.C.G.W. styles have different numbers.
