Talk about character! Small wisp of bubbles in that delightfully crooked dome; numerous other bigger bubbles here and there; a factory lehr "kiss" above the 2nd U on the front; and a long straw mark on the inside of the front skirt, winding crookedly behind the embossing. Su-weet! Damage is minimal: some factory annealing cracks in the pinhole, a small "ping" on the top of the upper wire ridge, and a flea bite or 2. So much going on here you don't notice, tho. One other thing; the price guide lists these as having either no ribs, or else 3 ribs. No matter how many times I count, I keep coming up with 4. Hmmmmm Do I have something unique here?
