Well, we think this a [100] embossing index, but the embossing is so incredibly faint, that it's hard to tell for sure. We DO know that it's a super tough color in this piece.

It displays mint from the front with all of the damage limited to the rear. On the dome, there is a bb ping. On the skirt at the wire groove, there are two clean, flat shears next to each other, the longer of the two being about 1 1/4" long. There is also an inch long fracture starting at the base and traveling up the skirt. There is a chip at that fracture, and a bruise next to it. It appears that the fracture and resulting damage surrounding it was caused by an impurity in the glass that was simply trying to get out. The chip is on one side of the fracture and the bruise is on the other side - all told, about the size of a nickel. There is also a small open bubble on the base.

This piece books at $300 - $350. Taking all of the damage into consideration, how does $200 sound? You'll have a hard time finding another one at this price that displays this nicely!

Thanks for looking!
