I personally think this is a great color. It doesn't wash out with backlighting either (see photo). Photo is slightly darker than actual piece. This is the [113] embossing error

(R-Skirt) PATENT/MAY 2 1893 {First 'T' is engraved over an 'E'}

which is why I got it. A little damage; small chip in the front affects about 4 drips (see photo). There is another similar chip at the right mold line. But, don't think about the damage, look at the color!!!

I was able to get an upgrade, so I'm letting this go for less than I paid for it. Given the book value of $200-250 I think $100 is a great deal myself. Shipping not included.
