Still trying to raise a bit of money, and raze a bit of the heftiness of my collection, so here are three more pieces for your consideration!

Three Dominion - 9 CD 108, the standard Canadian telephone style for years, are up for grabs. Three different colours are represented, from left to right, Peach, an unusual off-clear, gingerale-ish shade, and lastly, light green.

One thing I should point out right now is the relative scarcity of light green CD 108 Dominions. Why the price guide lists them lower than peach is beyond me. This is the third I have ever encountered in my area. :O

The peach and off-clear examples are both the [090] embossing style, with round drips, and just a Diamond on the rear skirt, whereas the light green example is the [100] embossing style, and has sharp drips.

All three pieces are in good shape, from what I can see. The light green appears to have only a few wire groove rubs, the peach has 3 flea bites, one on the front lower wire ridge, one on the rear lower wire ridge, and one on the rear skirt, and a little rubbing at the mould line around the base plate, but this is normal. The off clear example I have not turned up many of in good shape. The reason is a slight malformity in the drips that the mould style this colour occurs in tends to have. The drips tip outwards for some odd reason, and thus tend to sustain chips. This example has a fancrack 3/4" long beneath the "INIO" embossing, and a 1/4" flake off the rear upper wire ridge.

I'm asking $7 U.S. plus shipping for the group. I accept personal cheques from any member of ICON, or anyone I have dealt with before.

All the best!
