Up for sale today, starting at left, is a beautiful Powder Blue H.G. CO./ PETTICOAT CD 145, even has a couple of cottonballs of milk, and, it is about flawless-----none of the typicalwire ridge flaking, no base chipping, inner skirt damage, I don't even see a contact mark! It's a little faint, but I think this has shop letter -N- backwards above H.G. CO. I see there is one of these in the current Crown Jewels auction, and I don't believe it is in as fine a state of preservation as this one, it's unreal, and last time I looked, it was bid to $80. This super example can be yours for $50. Second 145 is a -J- shop letter under H.G. CO., in a nice shade of blue. While not perfect conditionwise, it's pretty darn good; one inner skirt flake about 1/4", a base nibble that is 1/4" by !/8" and thin, and that's about it. interestingly, about halfway up the mold lines on skirt, both sides are indented real noticeably, as if this thing was picked up by tongs or something when still nearly molten. $20, add $5 each shipping. Now offering these at the bargain prices of $30 and $10.
