Ex James O. Duguid collection and ex John Decaro collection. Condition is attic found with one pinhead size flake to the shoulder and there is considerable high point wear to both sides. Also as is typical for this mold, the pattern on one side is quite weak. Measures approximately 5 inches wide x 5 7/8 inches tall.
