I posted one of these for sale last year, and it sold almost immediately, and more than just one person seemed interested! In light of this, when I spotted this one at an antique store recently, I picked it up thinking someone else might like it.

The piece in question is a [080] embossing Hemingray CD 106. These are the pieces with just "HEMINGRAY" on the front skirt, and absolutely no other embossing! Kinda unusual, eh? No "No. 9", no patent, no nothing! The embossing is horribly off-centred, and the surface of the insulator is completely covered in orange peel whittling! And, as a further bonus, there is an amber streak directly behind the embossing!

The condition is reasonable. It has 4 drips that are more than half nicked off, and a further 3 that are just ever so faintly nicked. The drips on this thing are so small, though, that you'd never know any were missing, anyways! There is also a chip on the rear base measuring 5/16" wide by 1/4" tall. The condition is better than it sounds, believe me!

I am asking $8 U.S. plus shipping for this unusual embossing style! I accept personal cheques from any member of ICON, or anyone I've dealt with before. Feel free to email with any questions, or for more photos!
