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 on both sides 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 and you can see it in the picture. #2) There is a ping near the top of the dome that caused a shallow circle of about 1/2 inch of glass to flake off. It is aligned with the mold line, shallow and pretty clean and has never bothered me. Picture of the other side [id=292101000]

I priced this last year @ $888.88 then dropped it to $826.66, then down to $800. Since it was moving slower than a bug in amber, I've decided to cut the price to $699.99. I can send more pictures on request. I think its a pretty good deal and a nice piece. I'm open to trades / partial trades in this price range too. If you think you might have something of interest, let me know. First email as always!

Sold for $699.99. That was an awesome deal.
