Shows all around - a floater with no points of attachment. Chipping and cleaving is present on corners and edges as seen; still for such an old-time specimen I think this in very good condition.

According to records there the collection had been assembled in 1919 and 1920. At that time the piece was sold to Lloyd Tate. We reacquired the specimen in 2009 when we purchased Lloyd's collection.
