That's neat that it still has some original ink residue inside. It leaves no doubt about what it held.

Charlie, the raised dot is solid and definately in the mold.Seems like a silly spot for it.

I say it's a seed ..gravity itself accounts for the shape. Hope I don't seem argumentive, but I can't see a design like that being on a mold on purpose

It could be, my guess is Philly or Baltimore but I am a rookie when it comes to these.

ORIGINAL: Oldtimer

That green says Conn. to me, maybe Jersey?
