To be sure, this specimen looks a bit on the crude side. The base has nibbles and flakes all around and it has a 1.5" bruise in the skirt on the lower left edge mostly behind the mold line. There are a few stress fractures here and there, typical of glass of this era. There is no glass missing, though..no chips. It does not have UPRR embossing. Considering the 500-600.00 for a VNM specimen, this is a good buy at 195.00.
