ITEM No.: 5 CD No.: 112.4 EMBOSSING: Hemingray COLOR: Golden amber. CONDITION: Two side-by-side conchoidal chips below the Hemingray embossing, rear wire ridge flake and tiny nibble (see View 2). SUMMARY: This has to be the most sought after double groove pony in existence. Most, if not all, were used in Nebraska. The color is quite striking, with brilliant clarity. There are roughly two dozen known in collections, with many having some degree of damage or repair. This example is a great candidate for repair, should the chipping bother you. A lightly repaired amber Number 8 sold at auction three years ago for $4,400. There's clearly some serious potential here for a great buy, without spending 6K+ for a cleaner one.
ESTIMATED VALUE: $2,200 - $3,000 OPENING BID: $1,200
PRICE REALIZED: $1,320
