I picked up this great example of a light blue aqua CD 260 (010) OAKMAN MFG.CO. - JUMBO at the Columbus bottle show last Saturday. There was a bottle dealer who had somehow picked up three of these from St. Louis in varying conditions. All were in "as found" condition with soot reminents and not from an insulator collection. I wonder if the others were purchased? This one has the base rim embossing intact and has some milky streaks in the skirt. Does have an open base bubble pop which sheared a 1.5 inch long by 1/2 inch wide flake off the inside of the skirt. This piece displays perfectly from either side. The others had nicks to the ears and the upper wire groove. This one has no ear or wire groove damages. This is a fantastic power piece addition for my collection aquired at a super price and I'm really happy I bought it and didn't pass it up. |
