Up for sale is a No Name hoopskirt with a lot of character! This one is the [035] embossing (the only No. 48 embossing that I've ever actually seen, for the record), and is a blue aqua colour. To name a few things "wrong" with it, it:

- has lots of snow chunks, ranging from just 1/16" up to nearly 1/4". - is laced with amber swirls running throughout the glass in the front skirt, dome, rear crown, and rear skirt. There seems to be more amber in the rear skirt than anywhere, but there is a considerable amount all over. - has a trail of small bubbles running from the left side of the skirt up over the rear dome; and - appears to have three or four small pieces of metal (1/8" or so) in the left skirt side, seemingly entrained with the bubbles also found there.

This one was picked east of London, Ontario about 10 years ago and needs a new home. It's in VNM condition, with just an open bubble on the inner skirt, a fleabite on the right side of the dome, and some scratches in the wire groove.

I'm asking $45.00 plus shipping for this one. 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!
