CD 158 BOSTON BOTTLE WORKS [020] (Base of inner skirt) BOSTON BOTTLE WORKS/PATENT APPLIED FOR {Four segmented threads} {Wide wire groove} {MLOD} SB Aqua in color.

Dug on the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railroad in New Jersey. Top of the dome is covered with round, no missing glass hammer bruises as a likely result of being installed on a threadless pin. About 80% of the lower skirt/base is chipped away, 7/8-inch chip out of the inner skirt removes the B-OSTON embossing, except for the B.

Stands on it's own, and remains a decent example of a scarce cd. $160 shipped USA
