It'd be very tough to upgrade this CD 134 EIN [030] (F‑Skirt) PATENT/DEC. 19. 1871 SB. The only damage I can find upon very close inspection is a miniscule pinpoint tic in the front crown, a quarter-inch scuff on the left front wire ridge, and a tiny, shallow bruise on the base. The threads are perfect, and there is a raised glass dot at the top of the pinhole along with several seed bubbles and a faint wisp of milk in the right front skirt. Click on View Original and look hard to see all of this. As for the color, I'd call it Blue, but certainly not Hemingray Blue. A Hemingray expert might call it Dark Blue Aqua leaning towards Blue; reasonable people may differ. Considering the near pristine condition, let's split the difference and call it $50 plus postage. You won't be disappointed.
