Here's a character PAT DEC 19 1871 CD 120 for all you early Hemingray fans. This one appears to be the [020] EIN with a '5' on the rear crown and an "A" on the rear skirt. Its colour looks to be a nice light green aqua. It sports a severely off centre pinhole which is plainly visible when displayed from the front (as shown).

Condition is fair on this one. It has some scuffing and a few scattered fleabites or fisheyes around the skirt and wire ridges. it also has a few very small flakes or scraping along the rear base edge. It appears to have been buried and has a light mineral etching mainly inside the pinhole.

I'm asking $10 USD plus shipping for this one. 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.
