1953 has a variation called the Shoulder Fold. This a fun variety to look for. If you can’t see if there is a shoulder strap or not, you can easily differentiate the two by looking at the serifs of the ‘I’ in DEI.
The Flared Serifs here indicate the No Shoulder Fold (NSF) Variation.
The Straight Serifs here indicate the Shoulder Fold (SF) Variation.
