This old telegraph piece is not only colorful, it is in very nice condition to be 130 years old. It has an 1/8" open bubble on the base and a couple of micro nicks near the wire ridge that are barely noticeable. Good looking piece. 2015 book is $50-75. Shows run $90-125 which is more current for VNM. Sparkling surface.

First email gets it for just $65 shipped in the lower 48. Insurance extra. PayPal friends preferred. Money order okay, but will delay shipping until I cash it. Check is fine, which must clear before shipping unless we've done business before.
