Always one of the styles I adored the most in my earliest days of collecting, I still enjoy gazing at one of these bright, Hemingray blue sharp-dripped 145s, if placed in a window sill on a bright, sunny day. Really, nothing compares to this deep blue glass. This example is the [080] embossing style, an embossing type that is not frequently encountered in S.W. Ontario. This example has a most unusual feature on the embossing, as well. The dash between "Hemingray" and "21", is actually stamped so low, that it appears as more of an underscore (_), than a dash.

The condition of this example is the best I, personally, have seen. These SDP Hemingray 145s are so often plagued by large base chips, and missing drips. This example does not have a single chipped drip. The damage is limited to one 1/4" long flat chip out of the upper wire ridge, right on top of the right mould line. This chip is really nearly invisible, as the mould line does wonder to hide it. There is also a single fleabite on the rear crown... tiny, though. Ever so tiny.

I'm asking $9.00 U.S. plus shipping for this sparkling beauty. I accept PayPal, and personal cheques or money orders from any member of ICON, or anyone I've dealt with before. Please feel free to email me for more photos, or with any questions. I encourage you to look through my "For Sale (Not Sold)" stock, and combine items to save on shipping. All the best!
