This CD 257 is embossed with PATENT over JUNE 17 1890 on one side of the skirt and the reverse side PATENT over MAY 2 1893. This piece is in really fine shape, the damage being limited to a few nibbles. At the edges of the cable groove there is a tiny bit of nibbling and there is one very small spot on the shoulder. The drips are as good as they came from the factory....perfect except for an open bubble taking the tip of one drip. $40 plus actual shipping . #193
