Let me say up front that color nuance is not my area of specialty. That being said, when I shine a flashlight through the insulator it looks red to me. The embossing is as follows; front, Hemingray Patent May 2 1893. Reverse embossing is Petticoat. It has sharp drip points, two are damaged partially missing on the inside like a slice. There are 3 or 4 drip points that are lighter in color like they might be cracked, I am not sure but there is no glass missing from them. It has a nice bubble on the reverse side. No other damage that I can see. Asking $160.00 plus actual shipping. I prefer money order or personal checks. Thanks for looking.
