I came across these two nice items this week at a couple of junk shops. On the left is a CD 252 EIN [110] (F-Skirt) HEMINGRAY-62/['LOWEX/REG. IN U.S. PAT. OFF.' blotted out] (R-Skirt) MADE IN U.S.A./1-8:: SB in Flashed Red Amber. Several small inner skirt flakes keep it from mint. On the right is an LR 94 [F] HICKOCK'S PATENT [R] 1859 in what appears to me to be an unlisted Teal Blue. Besides wear and nibbling along most of the sharp edges, there's a ½" clamshell flake at the top that can be seen next to but does not affect the apostrophe in the embossing.
