Three fantastic Pennycuick 149's that make a hard-to-beat set. Prices and descriptions are listed individually below, or take all three for $650 shipped.

Left: Beautiful teal green with a 1-1/4" wide bubble above the wire groove. The bubble has a tiny opening into the threads. There is a 1/2" skirt chip off the base on the bubble side, a 1/2" chip on the upper wire ridge below the left side of the bubble, and two other small chips on the sharp wire groove edges. $185

Middle: Blue aqua that is super short! The entire base is underpoured and uneven. Oh, and yeah - that bubble!! It is 1-1/2" wide and also has a small opening into the threads. There is a small inner skirt chip with a 3/4" arcing fracture on the right side, a 3/8" upper wire ridge chip on the right side of the bubble, two small lower wire ridge chips also on the front side, a 5/8" upper wire ridge flake on the rear side, a 1" long scuff on the rear dome (looks like it was ground on concrete, a few bb dings on the front skirt, and a few other scattered dings and nicks. The damage list is long, but it's not terrible for one of these and the character makes up for it. $265

Right: Teal leaning towards teal blue. This one has a fully sealed 1-1/2" long bubble that runs along the bottom of the wire groove and into the skirt. There are three small base flakes along the outer edge with the largest being 3/8", some minor nibbles to the sharp overpoured base edge, about 8-9 flakes, chips, and bruises on the top and bottom wire ridges ranging from 1/4" to 1/2" long, with a couple being on the bubble side. There are also a few small dings scattered around with one being on the surface in front of the bubble. Again, the damage list is long, but it displays very well. $225
