I'm going to try something a little bit different this time around. For these first few sale listings of 2024, I'm going to donate 100% of the profits to Bill for use towards ICON. To be clear, these donations will be in addition to the amount I usually give. Like so many others, I have ICON to thank for my introduction to the hobby. For all they do, Bill & Jill shouldn't have to bear the cost of hosting the web site as well as the time required to keep it running.

Here's a great-looking unmarked U-236 made by Thomas. The crude, dry process porcelain shows its age, and this one has a great charactered and highly mottled glaze with lots of light blonde highlights. The hand-trimmed dome top has an odd spiral effect cut into it. The tie wire itself is the real prize, with all original early 20th century cloth coating and at least one later rubber-coated splice.

This one has a 1.5 by 1.2 cm flake on the skirt on one side, as shown in the photos. It displays well from all other angles.

I'm now asking $25 USD plus the actual cost of shipping for this one. 100% of this amount will go to Bill Meier and the ICON website to support its software updates. 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.
