CD 145 [130] Boldly embossed H.G. CO. / I on the front and PETTICOAT on the back. My personal opinion is that the shop letter "I" molds are the most attractive pieces because the embossings I have seen are usually bold and most often these are filled with microbubbles giving them added character. There are 2 minor things that keep this beautiful bubbly amber insulator from being a mint piece. #1) There is a very small nibble out of the top of the sharp wire groove on the PETTICOAT side. Its before the P and near the mold line. #2) There is a slightly smaller than a dime sized circular divot on the top of the dome aligned with the mold line. Its shallow and pretty clean and has never bothered me. I find base chips near the embossing much more distracting. I have more pictures on request. Priced at $875 plus actual shipping and insurance at your option. A mint or hair closer to mint will likely cost you a few hundred dollars more when all is said & done.

Price reduced FROM $875 plus actual shipping TO $826.66 shipped.
