Unique to Canada are these cute little beehives called Dwight Pattern CD 143s. Dwights are named after a fellow who worked first at the Montreal Telegraph Company, and then later at Great North Western. His name was Harvey Prentice Dwight, and in addition to this style, he really did help an immense amount in revolutionizing, and advancing the telegraph industry in Canada. Made sometime from the 1880s to the 1890s, this old style was named for him, whether it be by himself, or by those honouring him.

Both primary mould styles are present, the smooth base on the left, and the grooved base on the right. The smooth base mould is renowned for it's unusual shape. The base is hardly really smooth, and some might call it more of a cross between a continuous drip and a rounded base. The grooved base, I believe, is more or less unique to Canada, and this is one of the more famed of the pieces bearing it's anatomy. Both pieces are light aqua

The smooth base piece is in very good condition - just some fleabites and very small fisheyes here and there. There is a scratch from an iron wire in the rear wire groove, some scratching on the dome, a 1/4" fisheye on the rear skirt, and a small open bubble on the rear base. It sounds worse than it is, as usual! The grooved base variety has some neat underpour on the rear base, and is in very good condition as well, with just one 3/8" fish eye on the rear dome.

I'm asking $10 U.S. plus shipping for the pair of them. There's a grooved base piece exactly the same as this currently selling for $10 by itself in the "Little Guys Insulator auction". Lot 102. I accept personal cheques from any member of ICON, or anyone I've dealt with before. Feel free to email with any questions, or for more photos!
