Some more than other especially very early examples like this one!
One of the earliest I have had the pleasure to offer. I have only had one earlier than this which was # 108 that sold for $3995 and this one is actually nicer!

No haze, with only the most faint, insignificant cleaning marks.
Very minor as most have many marks but this one is very minor and barely noticable.
A CLEAN lens!
A very nice, VERY VERY early #920197 WOW! example. Rich yellow glass.
A great value and price considering what they are worth and have sold for
A pleasure to have and enjoy!
