A color that doesn't show up too much. There seams to be two kinds of delft blues and this one is a lot richer than the others I have seen. Great looking insulator in person. The insulator is also in great shape, the only thing I could find was a very small flake off the inner skirt, and I think this was done during the manufacturing process. Books 50-75 Asking $65, plus shipping. I feel this is definitely worth it. I also have a couple other McLaughlin's for sale if interested and I can make a deal on them.
