One of the earlier No 12's that is prism embossed. The embossing dates this from 1895-1901. The color is a light ice aqua with photos taken in direct, full 2PM sunlight. Has a 3/4" NGM base bruise under and to the left of No 12 from a drip bump 4 drips at the bruise halved, a couple drips slightly flaked, 3 WG lip shoulder pecks along with 2 tiny fleabites and lastly, a small double match head sized flake off the skirt right at the mold line. I have nit picked this for damages. Book is $100-$125. To your door for $50 PP. More photos available. Please just ask.
