For sale is a CD 156.1 [010] (Base) POSTAL TELEGRAPH CO. PAT SEP 13 1881 {Note backwards number} BE in aqua. It displays VNM+ from the front where two open base bubbles take out the L in POSTAL and part of the T and all of the first E in TELEGRAPH on the base embossing [id=364885391]. The pinhole is very crude and misshapen, and the inner skirt has a neat underpour. A scratch makes the E in SEP look white. The real damage is a 1 1/4" by 1 3/8" chip/slice off the rear upper wire ridge/lower crown as shown [id=364885249], and there is a small flake to the inner skirt. Contact with another piece during annealing left a small bump of extra glass on the rear skirt. Book price for an aqua one of these is $40 to $50. I'm asking $30 shipped in the US. No PayPal. Thanks for looking. Now $25 shipped. Not sold--back to the shelf.
