This CD 252 comes with all of the embossings. On the front skirt is KNOWLES over No 2 CABLE (slug embossed). On the reverse is PATENTED over Prisim over JUNE. 17. 1890 The color as you can see, is a very nice looking blue. There is one small, shallow base chip and a few nibbles also on the base. There are also a few dings and pings scattered around. Overall a very good looking insulator. Price guide says $30 to $40. How about $30 and I`ll pick up all of the shipping cost anywhere in the U.S.
