A very well cared for CD 253 embossed (boldly) KNOWLES CABLE over INSULATOR over "PATENTED . JUNE . 17 . 1890" A beautiful green and all I find to report is a ding on the back side of the skirt. It will be hard to find another Knowles in as good or better condition. Asking $165 plus actual shipping cost. Check, money order or PayPal, non fee. "NO HARD TIME" refund, always.
