Why after you look at the photo is this good looking CD 172 M.T.CO. "real cheap"? The reason is the insulator is split cleanly into two pieces and reglued. The glass is clean, no surface dullness. There are a few wire groove chips and a little chipping along the base. All the embossing in intact. I'll get a shot of the base in. Here is a chance to add a threadless insulator to your collection without breaking the bank. My 4th of July special is $60 plus shipping. Hey, that is cheap! Also check back on some of my unsold pieces here in the For Sale Album. I've tweaked the prices some to see if I can get some interest.
