I posted this on ICON several days ago and am going to now post it here so folks have a picture to see of this. Also, if this is sold a percentage will go to Bill Meier as did the amber WT sale I posted. This is a dark teal with some goop snot in the body of the insulator. Colour is excellent! Condition for this egg is VGC as eggs go, this has a base 1" flat chip and flaking around the base in small spots but overall the base is in VG shape. There are no cracks in the body of this insulator and only a small double clamshell chip on the wire groove lips of this piece. Glass surface is hazed a bit from being buried with some small scuffs, fleebites, light scratches and birdpecks but will polish like a new penny if tumbled. I have lots more pix of this to send if you are interested. Book is $1,500.More pix on your req and first mail to me.... $1,100 shipped anywhere.
