Up for grabs today is a beautiful Canadian CD 102 pony in a great shade of purple. It's a B.T.C. (Bell Telephone Company) that's from a previously used mold; the previous embossing read B.T.C. over MONTREAL. However, when they went to blot out the MONTREAL and insert CANADA overtop, they did a poor job of it, so that the M and L at either end can be seen, and it appears to read MCANADAL!! Nice, crude, heavy old piece for the size of it and the only thing that looks like damage is a small tic at the seam where the bottom edge of the dome meets the right mold line. Yours for just $23 + shipping! Thanks for looking...
