I have for sale a CD 259 in a rare beautiful dark emerald green! The picture does not do the color justice, but trust me, it is emerald green. I had several well known collectors verify the color at Claude's show last weekend. I hate to let this beauty go, but I only have so much room for these power pieces. It has a smaller than 1/8" ding on the lower part of one ear and a smaller than 1/8" ding on the base. Also, it has several over-all minor chigger bites and scratches. Just trying to be accurate here...the piece was in service. I am still calling it VNM because these just don't come in any better shape than this one. By reading the latest thread on the ICON page you should know how hard it is to acquire the really good insulators in mint condition. The 2003 price guide has this listed at $400-$500. I am guessing it will be higher in the next price guide. I am asking $450 and that includes shipping within the USA. Don't let this one get away!
