Near Mint. Very rarely do you see these with the original lightning stopper. The stopper has Lightning, Pat Spt 10 78 or something like that on the inner part of it. Wire is a little rusty, but still functional. Small discoloured surface scratch along front base edge. One or two light surface scratches. This example has heavy embossing, is full of bubbles, it would be hard to beat this one for condition and eye appeal. With the stopper in place, this is a must have. This was once part of the Barry Pauling collection. Grade: 9.4 Estimate: $200 - 250
