This colour of HGCO signal is indeed a tough to get colour, the lighter ones usually are. Great looking signal in lilac, piece looks and displays great! The insulator is V NM, it has some of the drip tips flaked off, a small NGM base bruise and a few tiny pinpricks, but really no damage anywhere else. Scale of 1-10,I'd call this an 8.9. Book on this tough colour is around $700. Special ICON members deal.... $360 delivered to your door! How can you go wrong with that good price!?? More pix available on request.
