Description

#3697      735      U.P.R.R.     MULFORD & BIDDLE.       Bright turquoise aqua.

Produced for Mulford & Biddle for use along America's first transcontinental railroad, which was completed in May 1869.  

A wonderful example with exceptional glass brightness and clarity!  Not a typical aqua.... rather, there's a slight tint to the glass that makes it special.  Additionally, the very thick dome glass amplifies the sparkling qualities to a great degree, making it a special jewel!

An over-poured glass "fin" protruding from the inside edge of the base creates a lean to the right, creating desirable character.  

Shallow, pinkie nail flake on the base and a couple other smaller, insignificant flakes.  Pinkie nail open bubble on the base has some surface bruising on the inside base edge.  Entire outer area in spectacular condition.  Overall a wonderful beauty... and oh, the glass is so rich... and has wonderful clarity.
