you wouldn't - that feature was above every single window - where they later covered it with the peach square panels. They go waaaay back. Part of one of the original features of the building.

It is an interesting photo though.

They did not - in ontario anyways - they mold used to make them however was used on a building in vancouver, which is where this picture is from. It is the only surviving authentic pressed image made from the original hamilton kresges mold.
The ones in hamilton were brutally hacked out and replaced by the peach panels.
Unfortunately the bottom "eagle wings" or "sun rays" image you see on the original kresges image underneath the fountain mold does not appear to have a surviving copy anymore.
