Description

#3541        CD 162      H.G. CO.    PATENT MAY 2 1893.      Icy blue-gray tint.

Transition type embossing with "rocking horse" style numeral "2."

This mold was initially embossed simply "H.G. CO" on the front skirt and "Petticoat' on the reverse.  The original marking was positioned in the middle of the skirt.  After the "drip point" patent was granted in 1893, the mold was engraved with additional patent date lettering.  This later engraving was "squeezed" into the small space between the HG Co lettering and the base, and is referred to as "transition" embossing, in reference to the transition from smooth base units and drip pointed examples.

Examples with an "icy" tint are seldom encountered.  An impressive color run of six different variants is being offered in this event.  Assembling such a diverse group could take decades, so there's a golden opportunity to add examples at this time.

The entire sharp wire ridge and wire groove remain in pristine condition.  Front base/skirt remains in excellent condition.  Fingernail chip and similar size bruise are present on lower, reverse skirt/base corner.  Aside from that area, three drip points are only partially flaked!
