A pretty blue color. Some call this "light cornflower", but I think that is a stretch. "Sky Blue" seems more accurate. Either way, a real pretty 1880's beehive. There is the faintest backwards "N" above HG CO for those who care about such things. A clean thumbnail ISC and some inner skirt flaking / roughness and maybe a wire rub are all I can report for damage. $25 and I get the post in the US.
