Here is a nice pair of CD 259 OAKMAN MFG.CO.

[010] (F-Skirt) CABLE (Base) OAKMAN M'F'G.CO. BOSTON/PAT'D. JUNE 17, 1890, AUG. 19, 1890. {Inside of outer skirt is threaded} BE

Note the shapes are a little different. The one on the left has a more squared and thicker flange and the ears come much further down. Well that's "consolidated design" for you!

Both are in very good shape; easily VNM or better with a ping or two here and there. Note on the left piece the little "bump" at the bottom of the cable top is a little moon shaped ridge raised glass. Factory mold defect, not a chip; it's flawless.

The one on the left is pretty close to Light Green ($75-100) and the one on the right more in the Aqua range ($30-40).

Priced at $55 for the one on the left and $25 for the one on the right. Or take the pair for $75 and save on shipping! You pay actual USPS shipping. Please reply with your USPS address in your first email.
