This No 3 Cable is a CD 254 and is in really good condition. The color is a pretty deep greenish aqua. My picture was taken in direct sunlight and makes the insulator somewhat lighter than you would normally view it. The embossing is on the light side but that's not unusual for a No 3 Cable. There is a very small nick on the bottom edge of one ear, otherwise I don't see any other damage. That too is unusual for a No 3 Cable. A really good price for this insulator is $22 and a flat rate shipping charge of $8 anywhere in the U.S. Reduced to sell. You guys are killing me. I'll pick up the shipping. You pay only $22!
