This is a dot-dash style wade with a partial wood covering. This piece was a part of my early telegraph display at Springfield last year. I have since redirected my collecting to selected Cd of Stars and Grand Canyons and so I am selling her. I also have a smooth side wade posted with a smaller wood covering. This wood covering for the dot dash shows the groove for the wire. It has loads of character for any collection. It does stand erect in case you were wondering. What is really kind of neat is that the glass shows in places where the wood has been removed over the years. This one likely came from the SW US being in such good condition. The base of the wade is chipped which is interesting considering how deep it is inside the wooden covering. Buyer, I will ship to US or Canada at no additional cost. Price: $495.00
