I started this a little backwards to read about the pluto platters I did the newest to oldest starting from here, It could be helpful to start from the bottom of this page and work your way back up, this way you will see the mold retoolings in order of when they happened, to see my American Trends Pluto Platters look under Antiques

Wham-o Pluto Platter 6th style will have the esker removed but have the same Wham-o & DES.PAT. 183626 in the script on the underside. on top the disc looks the same as the 4th and 5th styles.
Looking for hard to find styles leads to trying to ID used discs, so I asked the expert Phil Kennedy. Here is a pic of a emailed photo from Phil that IDs this one as a 6th style. Here you see a green circle highlighting the mold flaw found on the ejector pin area, this can be found in many different positions because the ejector pin area on the mold can be moved but the # 1 is always in the same spot in reference to the Backwards # 1, what we are looking for is any sign of a backwards # 1 , no # 1 here this is a rare 6th style!
underside of the 6th style.
