This pair is the last set I personally pulled from central Illinois in the year 1995. Hemingray N O 11 & N O 12.

The CD 113 remarkably has all of its drips intact! A sweet amber swirl on the left mold line can be seen if you [id=210221017] . In the back, a large bubble sits nestled in between the wire grooves. "Toughest of tough script embossing." A very tiny bb ping on the rear dome keeps this old timer from being mint.

The CD 114 has a very unique script on the patent date, especially the "2" in "May 2". Four adjacent drips in the rear missing & one drip halved in the front. Not bad for being a centurion!

$40 shipped for the pair.
