I'd go mint on this one except it has some cable-strand wear in the saddle. I got this one back in 1988 when the Orange Line transit route was being demolished and kept the residue from the thick cable insulation and dirty environment pretty much as it was, including some in the embossing area as you can also see. This can be easily cleaned/removed if you prefer. Nice crisp embossing and some really cool bubbles. A view of the base follows. This one is as nice of an embossed No. 4 Cable as you will find. Asking $185 and that includes Priority Mail shipping anywhere in the lower 48. PayPal (no fee) is welcome as well as money orders. Thanks.
