This is an amazing piece for condition. I cannot even feel any micro-nibbling around the mold line seam at the base. It reminds me of something that might never have been used - but i do not know its history. Definitely a premium piece. Book is VNM 50-75.00. Although it is mint, I will list it at the high end of the VNM listing - 75.00 - any takers? OK- reduced - how about 65?
