I first spotted the line this piece came off of when I was about 12 years old. It was a single 10-pin arm of mostly nice pre-1910 glass that ran north from Republic, Washington to Curlew and beyond. Lots of mustard and fantastically swirled "shotgun" type 102 Stars were scattered on the line, as well as this super bubbly lighter aqua Prismic No.9. It took 4 years to get my driver's license before I could go back and pick the line. It ran roughly along the road, but often cut through the Ponderosa Pine forest to meet up with the road again. I can still smell the pines and feel the summer heat every time I look at this piece.
