This is one of the toughest embossing variants in this CD [030]. And they all seem to be rather abused, condition wise. This one is no exception. Here goes for the damage: 6 of the 25 base drips are damaged, one is missing due to a bubble; on the umbrella there is a 1.75" long bruise and chip on the inside of the skirt which has damaged or removed 7 drips; adjacent to this chip is another bruise inside the umbrella skirt which cause one drip to be flaked; outside of these two bruises is one other chipped drip. Both bruises are on the HG embossed side. In the dome are two hairline stress fractures. From the "Patent Applied For" side, the piece displays almost mint (there's a missing base drip due to the bubble.) It's hard to come up with a fair price. Book is 250-300.00 so I'll start at 125.00 and see what happens.

I charge shipping at actual cost and never charge a handling fee. Please fell free to contact me with any questions.
