Not too much to be said about these two. Oddly enough, the CD 152 is not a style that was made in extraordinarily large numbers by any Canadian company, unlike the CD 154 and CD 145, and certainly in no where near the numbers that Hemingray made. Interestingly, there are many more Hemingray CD 152s in use on Canadian lines, than one will ever find of the Diamond-marked variety. Considering how common so many other Diamond insulators are, you would be surprised to know of how infrequently this style turns up anywhere in Canada, compared to other styles. The example on the left is a "normal" light green of Diamond-Flint manufacture, while the example on the right is a "normal" straw. Oddly enough, the straw one actually has a small amber swirl right behind the Diamond.

The light green example is in excellent condition, the only damage being a small, 1/4" square chip on the underside edge of the base, just beneath the left mould line. The straw example is in similarly good condition, with just a couple tiny, tiny inner skirt edge flakes. The largest of these measures about 1/8" long by 3/32" tall. The glass on both is shiny and sparkly, with no damage otherwise.

I am asking $14.00 U.S. plus shipping for this comparatively scarce duo. 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!
