Up for sale is a scarce, [130] H.G.Co. CD 162, in the "transition embossed" variation with the bar missing in the 'A' in 'MAY'. This is the second one of these I have turned up here in S.W. Ontario. Unfortunately, both have been badly chewed. Such a cool colour, and kind of a neat embossing error. For some reason, my camera wanted to capture very deep blue shades (almos cobalt) in the photo, but this one is actually just a deep blue aqua colour, verging on an early Hemingray blue. There's also a neat, transparent amber tadpole in the front skirt.

Condition... phew... here we go, from dome downwards: one 1/2" wide ping on the front crown; one 3/4" wide upper wire ridge flake on the right front side; one 3/8" chip just to the right of the last, right on the mould line; one 1/4" rear lower wire ridge flake; fleabite on rear skirt above the 'TT'. Three drips chipped right off, two with a short flake running up the skirt about 1/8" on the front left side; nine partially chipped drips; and four drips with just the tip nicked. The inner skirt is in great shape, though...

I'm asking $12.00 US plus shipping for this tough colour/embossing combo. Give 'er a good home! 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!
