ITEM No.: 33  CD No.: 162  EMBOSSING: (f) H.G. Co (b) Petticoat  COLOR: Rich glowing peacock blue.  CONDITION: One small flake at base of skirt under the ‘H’, just over match-head in size, and a couple of tiny pecks. A strong vnm, approaching vnm+ for this style.  SUMMARY: A gorgeous smooth base signal in an unusually brilliant, yet deep shade of peacock blue. A good number of the known peacock blue smooth base signals contain notable damage, especially to the upper wire ridge and skirt. Finding a vnm or better example can be a real challenge. Again, the color appears richer, yet brighter than some of the darker smooth base peacock blue signals we’ve handled and this one really glows under any form of lighting. Capturing and reproducing true peacock blue shades digitally is impossible. You are guaranteed to be delighted and amazed at the actual color when you receive this beauty!
