I have combed through thousands of DOMINION - 42 CD 154s over my 7 years of collecting, and I have to say that I haven't seen too many in a colour quite like this one. This particular mould style (of the [010] embossing style) with it's thick, crisp embossing, the glass quality, clean and clear with practically no impurities, and, of course, the colour, all stand out as being quite different than any other Dominion product. I have only ever seen this colour occur in this mould style. It is a different colour than the light yellow green examples, it is different than 'gingerale' (whatever that means), and it is different, of course, from the normal light straw and light green pieces. The piece I am speaking of is the insulator on the right. You can see the green tones in the glass compared to the light straw example on the left.

The condition is the only issue with this tough piece. There is an area of flaking along the upper right wire ridge, right at and behind the right mould line. The flake is approximately 1 1/2" long and is not easily visible from the front skirt. The flaking runs a flat 1/4" deep into the lower face of the wire ridge at it's deepest, but most areas of it are approximately 1/8" deep. There is also a 7/8" long "fingernail" crack directly above this damage. It, however, has to be viewed from the correct angle to be seen. The last bit of damage is a medium, 1/4" long and 1/8" wide BB ding on the rear upper wire ridge. The damage, as is usually the case, sounds worse than it really is.

I am asking $16.00 U.S. plus shipping for this tough mould, embossing, and colour combination. I accept personal cheques from any member of ICON, or anyone I've dealt with before. Please feel free to email me with any questions, or for additional photos! All the best!
