This group consists a of 151 SB in a hint of a tint with a very, very small chip or two that are really unnoticeable but I mention any way, and secondly, a blob with the embossing on the dome AND on the lower wire ridge, a Western Union unit that's much less often seen than on your typical 126. It has some burial stain, and a bit of 'character damage', that is, a circular area that's about an inch in diameter that's like a chip, but no glass missing. Sometimes if lightening hit a line, it would, for a few seconds, heat the metal in the wire to nearly the boiling point and blister bump the wire, which could cause the stress in the glass necessary to cause the anomily this guy has. This is not a farcical story, as I have some examples of such wire around here somewhere and you can feel and see the tiny bumps on it. Lastly, a non Elmer mold 162 Star variant that you see now and then in blue aqua, and much less often in the lime green characterizing this guy. One small quarter inch or so base flake. $8 bucks apiece plus shipping and just $5 for the pair of strains, will combine and can accept PayPal or other forms of payment.
