For those who would like a threadless but cannot or do not want to blow a load of bux, here is an answer! This McMicking has spent many a year gracing my collection, but now one with junk in it has taken residence and so I need to move this one out for new additions! This threadless is about as good as they come, it only has a few very small and light flakings to the resting edge of the base and one teeny tiny nip to the edge of the dome. You'll be hard pressed to find a better! Displays perfect. Want base pix? Mail me please. Book is$125 range. My price...$9O shipped for this gem!
