For your consideration this aft' is a rather unusual B No. 44 CD 145! I know how much every one enjoys insulators with huge bubbles and junk in 'em, so, naturally, this one should appeal to... well, pretty much every one!

This one is the [070] B No.44 CD 145 in a bluish aqua, complete with a few of the normal amber wisps throughout, but not enough to really mention. The dome is slightly off centre, as well, as the mould appears to have been misaligned to some degree. The real kicker, however, is the presence of two sizable bubbles protruding from the area of glass above the inner skirt at the base of the pinhole! Both are in the rear skirt, behind the No. 44 embossing, and are open to the inside, but are deep enough to be considered bubbles for sure! The main bubble is 1 1/2" long by ~ 5/8" tall, with a depth of about a half inch. The secondary is to the right of it, and is connected somewhat. This one is only about 7/8" long, and about 3/8" tall, with a depth of about 1/4" or 3/8" or so. Hard to measure in a space like that. :)

The damage on this piece is limited to the normal factory flaking to the sharp inside edge of the rounded base, or "mould line over base", as it will be referred to as in the new guide. The largest such flake is a 3/4" wide flat flake, though it is so superficial it can hardly be noticed. There are also a couple micro pings on the dome - one 1/8" wide on the front dome, and the other 1/8" wide on the rear.

I'm asking $20 U.S. plus shipping for this unusual piece with slightly more air in it than usual. I accept personal cheques from any member of ICON, or any one I've dealt with before.

All the best!
