Up for sale is a truly rare veteran of the Canadian telegraph - a Great North Western Telegraph Company CD 145. One can wade through the seas of normal aqua G.N.W. TEL CO. CD 145s and never in a lifetime locate one of these rare beauties. Unfortunately, not a piece that gets a lot of exposure or interest, but this could be because there are probably no more than 20 of these pieces known to exist. By no means are they a common insulator, and certainly by no means is this one that you will often see offered for sale.

This example is in great shape, with just a 1/4" long inner skirt chip in the front half, and a 3/4" tall vertical factory annealing fracture in the rear. Nothing too bad for a 100 year old piece of glass that probably saw 70+ years of stone-throwing and abuse by the elements.

I am asking $60.00 U.S. plus shipping for this piece. 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.
