In my never ending quest to find KCGW's, this critter popped up. It has a couple of things that might not be obvious to the non-KCGWer. This CD 134 is what a certain Texan insulator philospher called the "Big Boy" at the 2004 Wheaton show. It's base dimension is a full 3 inches. It has no inner skirt, which makes it a 134 [030] listing under KCGW and also No Embossing. These are VERY well done blotouts front and rear, as they are very hard to see, but if you look closely you can just make some of them out along the lower skirt in this photo. Now what makes this one different is it has 3 crude vertical bars, (2 shown, 1 on the rear) exactly like was done on the CD 160 and 162 KCGW blotout. This is the first Big Boy in the dozen I've seen with any embossing. Nope, it's not world peace or a cure for cancer, but it sure trips my trigger! Here is a picture of the new find next to a regular "Big Boy": [id=174478845]
