Description

#253      CD 162      H.G. CO.     PATENT MAY 2 1893.     PETTICOAT.       Medium-dark purple.     Sharp drip points.

Attractive darker shade in the color run of purple HG Co signals.  Note the patent date embossing is not centered under the "H.G. Co." lettering, rather it is positioned far to the right.

Drip points are totally free of any damage.  Overall, very near mint+. Another purple gem from Ross Baird's collection.  For decades, Ross meticulously attempted to upgrade items in his colorful signal collection, often acquiring the best possible examples he encountered.
