Excellent contrast between the reflective fields and frosty devices. About as nice as these are found, PCGS has graded 9 this high, with none graded higher and a total of just 20 in all grades (PCGS # 62089) .
Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,500.
From the Benson collection and purchased from an unknown source circa 1944-46 as lot 350B.
