Script embossed from the 1893-1895 period. A real good looking early HG signal. I see these in aqua all the time and they are always whacked. How this most unusual colored one escaped fate is hard to understand, but it is in remarkable condition. A few drips might have minor flaking, but none are really chipped and the usually bruised skirt remains perfect. About the only other mark I see on it is a tiny fisheye ping on the dome. The color is a very odd pale green, with a sage-like grey or blue cast. Also on the plus side is a nice curl of milky stuff just to the left of the embossing. Unusual color, outstanding condition, some nice milk ... what more could you want ? $38 + actual postage
