While not the most spectacularly amber-swirled B CD 145 you or I have ever seen, this one is certainly a cut above the norm. The photos attached do not do justice to the amount of amber cullet gently swirling throughout this piece - it really is fantastic! The insulator is a [010] B CD 145 with the "double 0" (00) dome number, and simply a B on the front skirt. The glass is a dark aqua colour. All throughout the front and rear skirts, and cutting up into the rear dome in large, gently curving swaths, is a real nice display of amber glass.

The damage on this piece is limited. There is what appears to be a series of chips (measuring 1/2" by 3/8") at first glance, on the right mould line at the upper wire ridge. This is shown in the picture on the left. However, upon closer examination, these are found to be part of a lehr kiss, evident directly above the "chip", from when the insulator nudged up against another while still molten. The only real damage on the piece appears to be a 3/16" by 3/8" shallow base flake, right behind the left mould line. I'd call the piece NM for certain.

I'm asking $10.00 U.S. plus shipping for this nicely swirled fellow. I accept PayPal, and personal cheques or money orders from any member of ICON, or anyone I've dealt with before. Please feel free to email me for more photos, or with any questions. I encourage you to look through my "For Sale (Not Sold)" stock, and combine items to save on shipping. All the best!
