Couple flakes off the inner skirt, one is about 1/8 of the skirt, then two others small flakes. Other than that, the insulator is in great shape. The insulator is probably VNM, maybe VNM-. I can send more pictures if needed. The price guide says light purple, but this insulators might be a little lighter. Books $200-250, asking $195, now only $168 plus shipping.
