Lot Description

Very attractive and highly lustrous bluish steel and light olive. Faint hints of underlying very faded mint red are bleeding through in a few places on the reverse.

The tiny die lines from the dentils under star 13 are gone. Tied for CC#1 honors with one other piece in the Grellman census. <BR>Estimated Value $500-UP. <I><BR>Ex Tom Reynolds 4/23/94.</I>
