CD 252 [030] Knowles embossed KNOWLES / NO 2 CABLE / PATENTED JUNE 17, 1890. Both sides of this piece have nice strong embossing. Standout olive amber layers in the ears as can be seen in the picture. I have rotated this piece slightly so you can see a good size dark olive green ameoba slightly to the left of the PA in PATENT. Rough estimation with a ruler is 5/8" long by 1/4" wide. There are 3 small pencil tip flea bites and a faint small white circle at the neck all on the KNOWLES side. I have seen and handled a number of these CD 252 Knowles and I think the condition and embossing strength and clarity exceeds most. Nice character piece and sure to please. A premium piece without the premium. SOLD for $65.00. First email!
