Though we do not have a part number for this obscure straight-pin LED, we can say with almost certainty that it is made by Monsanto. The die can be easily seen through the clear epoxy coating and is identical in brightness and construction to the die found in the Monsanto MV1. Unlike the MV1, this LED does not have an anvil head contact. Instead, the die appears to be directly bonded to the 'stalk' single lead which exits the bottom of the device. The top bond wire (as well as an errant air bubble) can be readily viewed through the clear epoxy.
