CD 162 HG Co, purple, #50

ITEM No.: 50  CD No.: 162  EMBOSSING: (f) H.G. Co. Patent May 2, 1893 (b) Petticoat  COLOR: Purple.  CONDITION: Just one partially chipped drip, a couple of minor dome pings and a small match head surface ding at the skirt base below the date.  SUMMARY: A deep rich shade of purple, yet not quite at the depth of color found in the darker purple and royal purple shades. This color allows excellent light conveyance when back lit. Once more, this is not a dark royal purple, however it does exude the same tonal qualities as the royal purples, with a vivid, brighter glow. Maybe a good "tweener" shade for the color signal specialist?
ESTIMATED VALUE: $450 - $550  OPENING BID: $300
