Up for grabs is a nice, shiny example of a piece that doesn't seem to come out of the wilds too much any more. This B & O CD 136 is the [010] embossing style, with the 1870 patent date. Its colour is an amazingly shiny light aqua. With absolutely no mineral staining whatsoever, this piece must have been taken out of the air, and certainly not buried! The surface is heavily contorted by whittling and straw marks from manufacture. This one must have been made early on in the day. The only downside to the piece is the relatively light embossing. "B & O" is still clearly legible, but the patent date on the rear is somewhat harder to read.

The condition of the piece is amazing, with, from what I can see, absolutely not damage whatsoever - not an easy thing to boast for a piece with this much age!

I'm asking $27.00 U.S. plus shipping for this pristine example. 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!
