Abstract
An identification device for a mold for impressing identifying indicia on each product molded in the mold. A plug retaining insert includes at least one bore through a working face of the insert. A plug member is located in each bore, with the plug member comprising a plug substantially filling the bore proximate the face of the insert, and a shank extending axially into the bore from the plug. A retainer is threaded on the shank, and a spring, bearing against the retainer, seats the plug member in the bore. Indicia of various kinds are located on both the surface of the plug and the face of the insert, with the plug being rotatable to identify a selected portion of the indicia.
