Today I am painfully listing some pieces out of my secondary collection. The first is this very nice aqua 131.4 crown embossed Patent Dec.19, 1871 old Hemingray telegraph piece. It has the characteristic glob of glass in the front wire groove. This was from a mold defect discovered years ago and shows up on some of these 131.4 pieces. Condition, in my opinion for this style, is mint, but I'll call it VVNM. These are tough to find in any condition and especially tough in this condition. A very desirable CD. Priced at $265 (yes, above book, but find one in this condition cheaper). Satisfaction guaranteed. Not satisfied? Send it back at your expense within seven days.

Prices I'm listing on the pieces today are firm---they will not go down. After one week of offering on ICON, I'll move them to an auction site. I accept PayPal and checks if you are an ICON member that is trustworthy. Price includes shipping in the lower 48. Insurance is extra and your responsibility.
