Dreyfuss turn of the century Pat'd. Oct 15, 1895 style stopper.

CONDITION
EXCELLENT condition. Color and printing is strong with
very light fading lower bottom area. Very minor marks from the
holding wire on the body. Area of the wire pass through is very clean.
There are no major cracks or chips.
Not many stoppers are this sharp.
Typical of all vintage molded porcelain items there are small surface
imperfections, marks and chips. This stopper is sold as is.
Review photos to assess condition and ask all questions before purchase.
This stopper is from my collection. It is NOT a reproduction.
Thanks for looking
