Very Good. Yet another Darby Bros variation! We had a similar one in auction 36 (Lot 18) but this one has back embossing and a base mark! Anyway, this one has a bit of haze. Back is very scuffy and worn but the front is pretty clean. A manufacturing mark at the front base edge. Distinct ridge above the dimples where the machine finishing the top has clamped on. Nice enough example. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $80 - 120
