DescriptionThis is simply a great image and a marvelous dag. "W.&F. Langenheim, Philada" embossed in the cover velvet. I broke the original seals, which are present in the back of the base, to reseal in new glass. The Langenheim plates are among the finest, along with Southworth & Hawes. Some light debris on surface.
