This one is VNM & is strongly embossed on the beautiful brass clamp! It is a 2 piece spool with what they call a lightning bolt style grip join spot on both sides. Truly a tough piece to get! The only thing that keeps this from perfect is that there are two small chips on the top side where the pcs join. These are tough to get this good as these often shattered during cold weather due to the difference in expansion/contraction rates between the porcelain & the brass enclosure during cold weather spells. 25.00 gets it anywhere in continental US. Slightly higher elsewhere.
