Looks like a regular Hostetter's and Atwoods, but wait.....look closer.....The J is backwards on that Hostetter's, and the Atwoods, although still common, is a not as common earlier variant. All the looking I've done I can't find any info on the "backwards J" Hostetter's except for two posts on the Forum, and both say their are less then 10 known examples with Ring & Ham saying less then 5 known. Has anyone ever seen one sell and know what they typically sell for? I'll get some better pics of it up later.

Hi Can Ya Dig It; I wish I had seen that item earlier. I would have liked it because of the reversed letter. I have several examples of these errors and expect to put together a blog for the homepage to cover their causes. To bad it got away.
