Description

#2033        CD 131.4        PATENT 1871.      1   1      "Swirled base."        Light green aqua.

The key feature on this example is a wonderfully deformed base!  Heavy creases, having the appearance of a whirlpool, swirl entirely around the base, adding fabulous character!!!

 This was one of Hemingray's very early designs, dating from the early 1870's.   There's a normal size numeral "1" embossed on the rear dome, with an adjacent smaller numeral "1."

A unique jewel that remains in great condition.  Has only a shallow flake up from the reverse base, perhaps 2/3 pinkie nail size.
