Special Notes: Bottom of disc shown--this is a very interesting disc. It is the third Regular seen by the FDM that has Pat. Pend. tooled (it is roughly done) into an esker. This disc shows the progression of the production of the Regular. This iteration shows the addition of the word Wham-O and the ® after Frisbee in raised letters on the front of the disc. The disc does not have any T.M. script and still lacks the patent number. The Copyright text shows Pat. Pend and has been changed slightly from the 2A mold. The tooling is improved, but the word Wham-O no longer aligns with the text above it. There is no Copyright date in the tooling. There are no discs before it that have any tooling that the esker may have been used to cover. The disc is part of the Mark Powers Regular collection.
