I haven't offered one of these since my very early days of collecting, probably over 5 years ago. The reason for this being that these pieces don't turn up in good shape too often! The piece in question is an absolutely awesome-looking N.E.G.M.CO. CD 145, in a blue aqua colour, and with a most unusual amber "tadpole" or "comet" in the front dome! There are also several chunks of potstone and some nice seed bubbles throughout the glass.

The condition of this piece is about the only issue with it, though it still reigns higher on the condition scale than most of the N.E.G.M. pieces I find around here. This one has two tiny base flakes, one ~1/4" by 1/8", and the other ~1/8" by 1/8", both in the vicinity of the left mould line. The major damage is a sizeable thumbnail fracture on the lower, rear wire groove. There is no glass missing, but as shown in the right-hand photo, the fracture measures 1" long by 1/2" tall. Really not all that bad, considering the crack is transparent, the piece is solidly in place, and is in the rear. The insulator displays in mint condition from the front, where the tadpole is.

I'm asking $8.00 U.S. plus shipping for this 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!
