I've been on the hunt for a textured dial Connie for quite some time now and recently had the opportunity to pick this one up.

2652 reference with a 354 bumper dating to 1953. All original I think (crystal, decagonal crown, etc.). Sharp too!

Couldn't be happier!

Nice - I think I saw this linked in another thread when it was still for sale online?

Thanks everyone!

I think you鈥檙e referring to the gold capped one in the eBay thread.. not the same, although that one is probably nice too!

Very lovely! If there's a dibs list somewhere, please put my name on it 馃榾

Done, although a couple folks who gave me advice on the purchase are already on it..

Doesn鈥檛 get much better than that! Glad you are fleshing you鈥檙e collection back out after your big purge.
Now I need to sell even more to cover this one....

Nice piece. This dial style was used only on the 2 earliest constellation references - 2648 and 2652 and that's why it is uncommon to find in connies.
