(F-skirt) Hemingray-45 (R-skirt) Made in U.S.A./ 12a - 39.

It's just a boring #45, except the glass has a weird surface finish.. this came from a seller in Roswell, NM... it had a crusty old pin inside with a bunch of dirt I cleaned up. The swirling has some iridescent sheen to it, and would not rub off with soap and water. The swirls extend all the way into the skirt and pinhole. The swirls also line up with some of the natural "irregularities" of the glass. That makes me believe this was done from factory, probably unintentionally. Maybe something contaminated the mold or the glass and caused this cool surface finish. I'd like to hear your opinions about this, if you know how this happened please email me.. I'll try to take some better photos, whenever the sun come out..

-Ron Y. Said it was ALIENS.. but more likely it was buried in highly mineralized soil, which affected the surface of the glass.

-thanks! It's still cool to look at, even for a #45...
