Here's a different item - a Canadian Pacific RR embossed CD 143. This one is the 2 piece mold with 1/2 of the embossing on one side and rest on the other. What makes this one interesting is the color. It's close but not quite Citron in color. Looks like the Hemingray E-1 2 or 3's color with a slightly greener cast. There's a milky swirl in the front and it still has the wire marks in the wire groove from the iron wire it held 100 years ago. This one had the "rounded" (Hamilton) base Condition: it has a small crack in the skirt on the side and a peck on the dome. Overall very good to excellent. Price? $40.00 postpaid

Thanks for looking Bob Alexander
