Up for sale is a pretty tough one to find... tough enough that I've never seen another! This Hemingray 106 is a currently unlisted embossing style which is quite close to the [020] embossing, save for the number on top being a '7' not a '9'. A few years ago I turned one of these up with an underlined '6' on the dome as well. Both the '6' and '7' will be listed in the next price guide, but both remain seemingly rare. I've never seen a second example of either. This piece came from a small collection I purchased last year, and only narrowly missed going into the "free pile" due to its common appearance. I'm glad I caught it, and I hope I can find someone who will enjoy it! The colour of this one is a light Hemingray blue. It's no jade oxblood scripted Hemingray 9, but it is kinda cool that such a seemingly common trait as a dome number could be so unusual. The threads are actually a little wonky in this one as well.

The condition of this one isn't bad. One 1/4" rear upper wire ridge flake (visible in the photos), a 5/8" long by 3/8" tall very light fan crack from the base up to behind the right mould line, as well as a 3/8" wide by 1/8" tall one beneath the front embossing. Eleven of those tiny fragile drips are at least partially nicked. There's also some scratching in the wire groove from the line wire.

I'm asking $29.00 U.S. plus shipping for this piece. You may have a hard time finding another! I accept PayPal, or personal cheque from any member of ICON or any collector with whom I have dealt before. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or for more photos, and look through my other items or unsold sales stock to combine shipping on items. All the best!
