Up for grabs is a pair of CREB CD 145s with a bit more character than the standard units. The left example appears to be the [070] EIN with the "FAB" error replacing the normal "FEB" in one of the patent dates on the rear skirt. The example at right is a common [090] EIN example with a large SN '23' on the rear crown, and with a spiraling amber swirl that runs around the pinhole starting from a larger blotch in the rear skirt and inner skirt. Contrasted with the light aqua shade, this amber swirl stands out somewhat dramatically.

The FAB error example has an area of flat flaking along the rear lower wire ridge that measures about 1/2" long. Apart from this it looks to be pretty good and is certainly shiny and clean apart from the typical wire groove rubbing.

The amber-swirled example has a 1/8" flat flake off the front lower wire ridge but appears to be in great shape otherwise with only some wire groove rubbing.

I'm asking $25 USD plus shipping for the pair. I accept PayPal, or personal cheque from any member of ICON or any collector with whom I have dealt before. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or for more photos, and look through my other items or unsold sales stock to combine shipping on items.
