Here's a really cool CD 135 shoulder embossed: CHI.INS.CO. PAT.OCT 16, 1883 in Blue Aqua with milky amber swirls! They flow across the dome, swirling thru the diamonds and flow into the skirt in two places! The wire grooves are in exceptionally great shape for one of these, with only a small rough spot and a tiny flake above a diamond! However, some internal stress lines along a few diamonds. Very hard to see.

2 tiny base flakes, and teeny internal postone bruise in lower skirt, tiny dome flake and minor normal nibbling along sharp shoulder rim.

You rarely see any of these (unlisted ones) with amber in them and it displays great! Large amber wave across half the dome (not seen in photo). Get this desireable historical insulator for only $85 plus shipping. The milky ones book for a lot higher than this! Don't snooze! Thanks!
