Another not-so-commonly-encountered Canadian insulator style, these type 2 "speedy diamond" mould-style Diamond 102s don't occur too frequently in the darker, olive amber shades commonly associated with type 1 Diamond ponies. If you don't know what the "type 1" versus "type 2" designation means, check out Mark Lauckner's 1998 CJOW article on Diamond ponies:

The condition of this one is good, with just a pair of flat base flakes, side by side, on the rear base. These measure about 1/2" by 1/8" in total. There is also an unusual "pit" type chip in the rear skirt... it appears this may have been caused by a lehr kiss, but I can't be certain. Either way, it is only 1/4" by 1/4", so it isn't much to worry about.

I'm asking $14.00 U.S. plus shipping for this one. 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!
