My photos are usually pretty good, but this time I still didn`t capture all the qualities of this CD 259 Cable. The color is a nice crisp light blue-aqua. The base embossing is perfect. There is a bubble in the shoulder. Just a few nibbles along the edges of the ears and a slight dome scuff. This was a walkin at the Little Rhody Bottle Club show this past January. I think this is a way above average piece. My price is $35 plus shipping.
