This is a (F-Skirt) HEMINGRAY (R-Skirt) PATENT/MAY 2 1893

but in the old prism style with the "loopy 2". Embossing is strong, some of it didn't show up as clearly in the picture. These are the oldest Hemi CD 121's made with drip points, before the common stamped embossing ones were made. Much harder to come by.

This one is Aqua but with a modest amount of snow and bubbles. They show up better front and base lit as is typical with a piece with these characteristics. Still, displays well back lite. See the [id=304006225; next picture] (a different piece) for one that is just nice clean aqua glass. A classic piece which we got in 1993 (100 years after the patent date) at the Mid-Ohio show.

Condition: several have some minor nicks and a 3/8" flake on the upper wire ridge near the mold line and a very small 1/8" flake on the upper wire ridge in the back.

$15 plus actual USPS shipping. Please reply with your shipping address in your first email. Thanks!
