CD-204 - LOCKE Sold For: $3,410 Color: Aqua
 | Condition, condition, condition! Virtually no glass missing! The inner skirt and outer skirt are perfect, as are the wire ridges called "petticoats" in the patent. 1/4" bruise, a small stress line, and a couple little flakes on the crown. Small annealing line around the threads. The damage-prone saddle groove top is virtually perfect too! And this is the detailed damage report! When Fred M. Locke designed the CD 204 "cross top" it was found to be much too fragile for the job it needed to do. Produced by Hemingray; the script embossing and "&" match the Hemingray style engraving. These rarely come to market and when they do they generally have moderate chipping or worse. If you want a very rare CD in wonderful condition for this style, this is for you! |

CD-204 - LOCKE Sold For: $908 Color: Light Aqua
 | 1 1/4" base repair; the area above the upper wire ridge has been reconstructed in resin; displays very well. Here we have a rare CD in the transposition family! Produced by Hemingray for F.M. Locke, it was patented with a reference to a multiplicity of petticoats and Locke claimed that the differing circumferences was what made his design unique and superior. Unfortunately this fragile design was too prone to damage, and there aren't very many that survived intact. In comes the CD 202 with a much stronger design. The CD 204 is quite a desirable piece for the CD, transposition or Hemingray collector to get in any condition! (#7098) |
