Missing 'T' in Trademark

Post by CrystalT »

I believe I have a 1968 400 Series of mixing bowls. I've identified them by their colors - 4qt. Avocado, 2 1/2qt. Yellow, 1 1/2qt. Orange and the 1 1/2 pt. is Blue. The set is in excellent condition.

The blue one is missing the letter " T " from the word Trademark. Is this normal?

Since all the opalware bowls start out unpainted, it would not be something unique to the New Multicolor set's blue bowl. The one in my set has the later imperial/metric marking. There were multiple molds to make each size bowl. Since they are press molded, and the TM is on a die, it is doubtful one of the dies had a missing T. More likely is that something unusual occurred to prevent a part of the markings from being molded into the glass on that or a batch of bowls.
