Album toning.  The centers are lightly toned with splashes of pale rose; the peripheries enjoy iridescent colors of a sunset.  Hard, smooth surfaces with no luster breaks in the fields or on the devices.  In short, this Red Book variety well deserves the “A” eye appeal rating noted by its consignor, Tim Osborne.    Last appearing in Heritage’s Jan. 2012 FUN Sale, lot 3525 @ $2,990.    Est. $2,500 to $3,500.
