I knew about the early 33's not having anti-reverse until the 1958 model. I was not aware of the 202 not having it.

Have just LARNED bout the 202 myself in a Batch I was going through to give to kids .
Thought it was just a fluke but when I tore into it it WAS early 4 prong thick Heavy Base.
 Actually had Ribs Molded into it for Reinforcement . and NO indentation for the  A/R to engage but was Smooth round Will post pictures soon ..
