One of the more unusual inclusions I have turned up in a B CD 145, this fellow has a sizeable "tadpole" just above the wire groove on the left side. The insulators itself is a shiny example of the [037] RB B CD 145 embossed index, in a nice medium green colour. The "tadpole", as shown, is a brown inclusion with "feet" and a "tail", measures 1" from head to tail, and is approx. 1/4" wide. In addition, the whole dome of this piece has slumped to the left side, making the wire groove quite uneven, as shown. Also, a fair number of amber streaks are visible in the piece, all over.

The condition is about as close to mint as a piece of this age can be. There is a 1/4" shallow fisheye just below the wire groove in the very back, and a tiny, micro-fleabite on the front crown. Even the inner edge of the rounded base on this one is essentially mint!

I'm asking $15.00 U.S. plus shipping for this nifty UFO piece. 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!
