I have carried this to a few shows, and it's the only piece that I need a special box for... (too BIG!) So, time to slash the price and give ICON a chance to buy it.

CD 301 [010] No embossing - Kind of a "Windex Blue" color. There four ribs between the outer and second petticoat. One of them is the "bump" you see in the photo. A hard to get CD.

Doug MacGillvary gave a little history on these pieces:

The guys in NY discovered these years ago on what I believe they called the Round Lake Trolley line. What makes this CD unique is the four braces between the skirt and the first inner skirt.

Damage report: A 1" scratch on the skirt, and a small 3/8" area probably 1/16" deep that was a chip. Small 3/8" flake up on the skirt. These have been filled with resin, but it's not a great job. Might even look better with the resin gone! About a 1" shallow flake in the outer skirt. Also covered with resin. And on the inner most skirt, there is about a 3/8" x 2" chip. Guess what? While not filled with resin, there is enough resin to round it off so there is no sharp edges. Consider it a "safety improvement" !!! Of course the couple of lines you see are just small creases in the glass.

Really, it's not all that bad... If you wanted to remove some of the resin and/or do a better repair job it would not be very difficult. Being unembossed you are free to turn it any way you like.

$275 plus shipping. Price guide lists Aqua as $600-700, and Blue as $700-800. You decide ... Satisfaction guaranteed. Please reply with your USPS shipping address.
