Up for sale is a CD 297 [035] (F-Skirt) FRED M. LOCKE VICTOR N.Y./PAT'D MAY 22-94 NOV. 24 96 DEC. 15-98 SEPT. 28 97 {Note 'DEC. 15-98' date} (R-Skirt) No 16/OTHER PAT'S PENDING {MLOB} RB in light aqua. The embossing is actually very readable—moreso than most of these I've seen—with only the last day and year fading out. Damage consists of an impact bruise to the corner of one ear, a small fisheye on the front edge of the top and another at the right edge of the saddle groove, and an impact to the upper wire ridge at the right mold line. All of this sounds worse than it looks as the insulator displays VNM+ to M from three sides, and pretty darn good from the fourth [id=364885917]. There is a funky base bubble that opens to the inside edge of the outer skirt with very minor nibbling to the inside edge of the first inner skirt [id=364886018]. The rest is shiny clean glass with a few neat straw marks on the umbrella and several scattered bubbles throughout. This EIN is harder to find and books for $30 to $40. Considering the damage, I'm asking $25 with shipping in the US included. No PayPal. Thanks for looking.
