This one shows how the slug plate section is actually elevated.

looks like a pretty typical early slugplate. It just set a bit low in the mold wall. The blank stock might have been too thin.

yup, what Matt said... a slug plate was after all that, a plate that fit into the mold. It didnt always fit perfectly or smoothly with the inner wall of the mold. The reason they made slug plates was so that the same mold could be used for many different customers, making it cheaper and more efficient to offer embossed bottles to customers...
