There is a collector in the area unknown to me that has been using a middle man to sell his collection at the Syracuse Flea market. To date, I've picked up some 10-20 dollar pieces to plug holes in my collection. There are only about 10 new ones every weekend...so it's fun to see what's inside the box upon arrival. This week, there were 3 threadless and a 143.5. These all had correct CD identification w/current PG notes up in the pin-hole...so this collector knows what he is doing. I picked up this 732 for a reasonable price. I passed on the others due to condition issues or hoping a friend picks up the 143.5 next weekend. This piece is mint and very nice...no damage I could detect. There is a stone in the glass near the surface. It has caused a flake that hasn't flaked yet. It was born that way, so I don't count it as a defect. There are stones, bubbles and ash in this very crude but fundamentally solid piece. The base is VNM which is hard to find I would think in such an old piece. There is a milk waterfall at the top of the pin hole with steams of milk flowing down to the skirt. Whoever owned this probably views ICON and recognizes his/her piece. I promise to give it a good home. Thanks for looking...Zaph
