Straight line embossing. In good shape, but does have about a 1/32" annealing fracture over dome (surface) as can be seen in photos. Open base bubble has some flaking, overall great for being 140 years old. How about $80 plus exact shipping and insurance (if requested). First email gets it. PayPal (gift mode only), check, or money order. Satisfaction guaranteed. If you do not like just ship it back.
