ITEM No.: 41  CD No.: 185  EMBOSSING: (f) Hemingray-95 (b) Made in U.S.A.  COLOR: Hemingray blue.  CONDITION: One tiny peck from factory mint (typical roughness at top of thread from routine factory slug removal).  SUMMARY: This style was designed for use in mines, often on a metal pin. Due to the harsh environment found within most mines and the sometimes glass-on-metal installations, most CD 185s suffer moderate to severe damage. Somehow this example survived in vnm+ condition and the sharp drip points are mint! The rich blue glass color is a bonus.
