CD 106 (F-skirt) HEMINGRAY / No 9 (R-Skirt) PATENT 2 MAY 2 1893 This little piece is stunning. The swaths of milk overlap and come to the surface, then flow back down into the dome base; nestled in between, clear glass offers a unique glimpse between the layers. This is the nicest milky piece I have ever owned. If this were mint, it would be a catalog piece. Minimal damage: 3 drips halved, another 4 nearly gone. A clamshell flake on the left base with an associated 1/2" line. [id=261707835] to see the high resolution image of all sides (big file!) Show me a better example of a great piece! $145 shipped.

CD 113 (F-skirt) HEMINGRAY / No 12 (R-skirt) PATENT / MAY 2 1893 Medium milk abounds in this tough piece. Long veils throughout, especially in the back. A few ticks on the dome & 1 drip halved, another drip with an open bubble. Usually these pieces are banged up. This piece survived, with great milk to boot. $50 shipped. [id=261707836] for another picture.

Take the pair for $180 shipped.
