It seems that Diamond CD 102s have inadvertently become one of the most popular styles of insulators in the hobby. And, frankly, I can see why. They were produced for such a vast time span, and in an unfathomable range of colours... how could they not be present in at least small numbers in nearly every collection?

The pieces, from left to right, are;

1.) a very light, icy, sagey, grayish green. Absolutely chalk full of microbubbles, and the damage is limited to an incredibly shallow 1/4" tall flake off the rear base/skirt.

2.) a light appleish green piece - not your standard aqua for sure. A little more green in person than in the photo. The damage is a little worse on this one, with a 5/8" base flake on the front skirt, and a 1/2" one off centred on the rear. Both of them are very flat, though, and do not display badly at all.

3.) an olive amber shade in good shape with just a bit of scratching on the rear wire groove/dome. The colour on this one is dark, but it passes light so nicely, you won't be able to look away! As an added bonus, there is ~3/4" of dome glass!

The three of them would look great in a backlit window display. I'm asking $8 U.S. plus shipping for the three. I accept personal cheques from any member of ICON, or any one I've dealt with before.

All the best!
