This CD 196 is embossed H. G. CO. and on the reverse PAT MAY 2 1893 There are plenty of these often offered with huge amounts of damage to the drip points. This one is not perfect but drip damage is minimal. Base drips are fine. On the shoulder there are 3 scattered drips with chipping on the inside. There is a small bruise above one of the drips. There are two small shallow chips on the dome. A very nice looking insulator that is well worth a lot more than my asking price of $45 plus actual shipping cost.
