The original version of the mold was used to produce the "CUTTING & CO (in an arch) SAN FRANCISCO" jar. Later the mold was reworked on the same side to make the "SAN FRANCISCO GLASS WORKS" jar. And finally, all this lettering was removed, and the "M SELLER & CO PORTLAND O" lettering was cut into the reverse side of the mold.
