CD-124.3 PAT. DEC. 19, 1871 GREEN and NO ISSUES ( F-Crown) PAT. DEC, 19. 1871 ( F-Skirt) E ( R-Crown) 4 Mold line over the Base. The embossing is very clear. One very minor flea bite to the left crown. This insulator will grade vnm or better. One of the best examples around. I think you will find the color is better than JUST LIGHT GREEN as listed in the current price guide. These 1871's have been increasing in value. In a large catalog auction last year one sold for $615.00 and most recently one sold on E-place for $465.00 and neither one was anywhere as good condition as this one. This is a exceptional piece for $550.00 plus postage and insurance. Buy with confidence! I ship USPS Priority Mail, with the buyer paying the actual shipping... Payment may be made by pay- pal friends and family or other forms. ---- I DO NOT SELL FAKE, PAINTED, STAINED or ALTERED INSULATORS. Don't wait for a sale, it's not going to happen. ** REMEMBER No Buyers premium to pay!!!! NO Bidding!!!!
