While not as tough as some collectors would consider these B CD 145s to be, the bottom line is that these sharp-dripped examples are outnumber by the normal smooth-based types, by something like 1000 to 1. Something about seeing sharp drips on a piece that shouldn't have them seems to get the blood really running in a lot of collectors. If you're one of these folks, then this piece is for you! The insulator is a [030] B CD 145 in the "OX"-top mould. The colour is a nice Brookfield dark aqua, and the glass is heavily wrinkled and contains many bubbles, straw marks, and dimples. Certainly a charactered piece, with a distinctly crude look all over!

The piece is in reasonable shape, with what looks like a total of 15 partially nicked drips, all in one region of the skirt - towards the left side. The damage does not show up very well on normal display, so I would still consider the piece a good example for the collection.

I'm asking $12.00 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!
