CD 132 Patent 1871, light fizzy purple, #27

ITEM No.: 27  CD No.: 132  EMBOSSING: (f crown) Patent Dec. 19 1871 (b crown) 2  COLOR: Light fizzy purple.  CONDITION: Light surface bruise at base of front skirt.  SUMMARY: This 1871 Hemingray bullet style is actually a subtle two-tone, with stronger purple tones in the dome and lighter, almost silver tones in the skirt. These qualities are lost in the photo, but we assure you they are there. The fizzy glass has a nice clarity to it, yet the surface is rather crude with folds, wrinkles and a "cold mold" lizard skin appearance. A nice 1/4" extension on the base adds to its taller stature. This would certainly make a fine addition to any 1871 or bullet specialty collection.
ESTIMATED VALUE: $250 - $350  OPENING BID: $170
PRICE REALIZED:  $440
