Sure it's pretty and pontilled. But it has no embossing.

yes, it is that good. Early conical form in a great color, most early inks aren't collected just because they are embossed, color & form mean a lot, embossing is an added bonus on early inks

In my opinion its ALL it's worth. But it shows every sign of going higher. 20 years ago we didn't consider this anything special in color. It's really just a light teal. The shouldered pontiled cone isn't a common form. But "color" has really taken off in inks in the last say 5 years. Look at what they get now for an odd colored Carter's cone...
