Picture does not do justice to the vibrant purple color of this signal! Embossed on the front skirt is H.G. CO./ PATENT MAY 2 1893 and on the rear PETTICOAT. Has three dings on the upper wire groove, two 1/4 inch chip/flakes to the underside of the upper wire groove, two very small dings to the front skirt, three sharp drip points half gone, one nicked drip, and a 1 1/4 inch bruise behind the 1893 that takes away half of one drip and 3/4 of another. Minor chipping/nibbling around the mold line at the base and the inner skirt. What an awesome color!!! $260 which includes shipping.
