Here are some items I found at an indoor flea market I had not been able to visit for some time. I was not disappointed in the trip. On the left is a CD 190/191 EIN [010] {191 Top} [No embossing] {190 Bottom} (F-Above wire groove) ◊ (F-Skirt) ◊ (R-Above wire groove) ◊ (R-Skirt) ◊ SB. The top is Royal Purple and mint; the bottom is lighter Purple and has a vertical stress crack up from the base. Next to that is a CD 161 EIN [020] (F-Skirt) CALIFORNIA SB in Purple (darker than the photo shows). There are a few scattered pings around the dome. Next is a CD 121 EIN (sim.) [095] (F-Skirt) AM TEL & TEL Co {No periods} SB in Purple. This one has a large O in CO, however, which is listed under EIN [038], but that listing has a dome square and number while this piece does not, so it appears to be an unlisted embossing. A small open base bubble and a few tics are more than offset by the cool bubble in the thick dome glass. And speaking of domes, check out the glass in the dome of the CD 161 EIN [010] (F-Skirt) ★ SB on the right. It's unlisted Blue with some light Amber. There's lots of fine snow all around and a few cool bubbles right up front in the skirt. Two small base slices do not detract.
