Here is a trio of Canadian Pacific CD 143s in light green shades - three very different mould styles, arranged chronologically by age in this photo, but all with the same colouration, roughly. This trio really demonstrates the generations of Canadian Pacific glass in the latter half of the 19th century. Not one of these pieces is newer than 1900.

On the far left is the slug-embossed Canadian Pacific 143, the [090] embossing style in the guide. These slug-embossed pieces are theorized to be the first generation of Canadian Pacific glass, dating back to the early 1880s. This one shows the characteristically weak embossing, and immense crudity to the glass. The dome is absolutely full of bubbly, carbon, and amber swirls, and the surface of the glass is heavily decorated with straw marks. This one shows its age well. Its condition is good, with just a 1/4" annealing crack from the rear base up into the skirt, and a 9/16" open bubble in the base, just behind the left mould line. There is also a smaller, likely factory-made open bubble on the inside of the rear skirt, measuring approx. 3/8" long. I would call this one VNM by factory standards.

The middle piece is the classic, "thin-print" Canadian Pacific 143. These are believe, by me, anyways, to be the second generation of Canadian Pacific glass, dating to the late 1880s and early 1890s. The embossing index is [060]. These also tend to show interesting crudity, this example being abnormally tall in the front skirt, and inexplicably, the normal height in the rear, making it sit unevenly when viewed from the side. The glass on this one is filled with many hundred of microbubbles, and some larger bubbles in the rear skirt and dome. This one is one heavy piece of glass, and does not have too much damage. There is a pair of flakes off the wire groove, just behind the right mould line. One branches up onto the dome side, and measures about 1/4" by 1/4". The lower one branches down onto the skirt side, and measures 1/2" wide (at it's widest), by 9/16" tall. This damage sounds worse than it is.

The final piece is one of the classic "backwards C" Canadian Pacific 143s. This one is a style that I believe dates from sometime in the 1890s. The glass is a shiny light green, but this one being markedly higher in manufacturing quality than the earlier two pieces. This one also falls under the [060] embossing style, though one can easily see the differences in shape and embossing between the two. The condition of this one is quite good, with the damage being limited to a few scattered fisheyes. One 1/8" fisheye on the dome top, just down a bit towards the right mould line. One 1/8" ping on the front skirt, just above the 'Y' in 'RY', and a very light fisheye on the rear domeside, just behind the left mould line, measuring ~1/4". There is also a 1/8" fisheye on the very bottom of the base in the front. Short of these few light pings, there is a tiny bit of nibbling around the base edge in a few spots - hardly anything to notice.
