Good. (6.7). Oiled internally. Stained throughout. 3 x 2 mm flake to right rear lip is in a little flat spot that looks like a minor spot of heat damage. There is a shallow 2 x 5 mm flake to the lip below this mark. Plenty of fisheyes, a few larger dark examples to the base edge. Some pitted scratches and spots of wear. Some crate wear to the strong embossing. Scuffs and scratches scattered around, some are reasonably heavy to the rear. We have never sold one of these in the Dobson patent. Nor have we ever seen the unusual base mark before, an FH monogram - definitely no B for FBH.. Estimate: $100-150
