Up for sale is a great pair of charactered Diamond CD 102s, freshly picked in the Canadian prairies earlier this autumn!

The piece on the left is a [087] No Name Canada CD 102, with blotted diamonds beneath vertical bars on both skirts, and one massive 7/8" by 3/4" bubble in the front skirt. It also has one smaller bubble in the left side of the front skirt, and one more in the back. All appear to protrude off the threads, which also have that strange white residue that is sometimes found in the pinholes of these Diamond ponies. This example is a little worse for wear, with a 1" flat base flake on the front base edge, a 1/4" flat base flake just behind it near the mould line, a 7/8" flat base flake on the rear base, and a 3/8" flat base flake on the rear skirt. Okay, so this one went for a rough ride - doesn't change the fact that it oozes character, and is priced right at $35.00 US plus shipping. Just think what a character piece like this one would run in a catalogue auction!

The example on the right is a [040] Vertical Bar / Diamond piece with some nice distinct amber swirling throughout both front and rear dome. The front skirt also has a nice swathe running down it, and if the amber weren't enough, it also has a small speck of metal encased in the front lower wire ridge, just above the top of the vertical bar. A strong magnet will be drawn to this speck, confirming that it is indeed metal. This one has a 1/4" flat base flake on the front base edge but is otherwise good. I'd call it NM. I'm asking $25 USD plus shipping for it.

I'd be happy with $55.00 US plus shipping for the pair. I accept PayPal, or personal cheque from any member of ICON or any collector with whom I have dealt before. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or for more photos, and look through my other items or unsold sales stock to combine shipping on items.
