Shown on the right in the attached photo is a [060] embossing "thin print" Canadian Pacific 143, in this most unusual "glowing" light yellow green colour. The piece for sale is the one on the right in this photo, with a "light green" example on the left for comparison. The colour absolutely shines on a sunny day, and this insulator is a good candidate for showing off the most unusual colour. This is not to mention it being somewhere around 120 years old, and having a more colourful history than your average "pretty" insulator. The piece is a [060] Canadian Pacific Ry Co CD 143, in the "thin print" mould, with tiny letters. This piece was hand plucked in the spring of 2006 from a stretch of the CP mainline near Chatham, Ontario. Heck, if you want, I can send you a photo of the piece still up in the air, on a pole! As an added bonus, the piece has an awesome bubble in the front skirt, behind the "IFIC RY CO" section of the embossing, that measures just shy of 1 1/2" long, and 1/4" wide!

This piece is in relatively good shape, with a 1/4" ping on the front dome, a 1/4" flat flake on the lower wire ridge, just above the "RY" embossing, a 1/4" flake off the lower wire ridge on the rear skirt, and a 1" long flat flake on the rear base, just behind the left mould line. It sounds bad, but considering the age of this piece, it really isn't bad. Finding a thinprint Canadian Pacific 143 in mint condition is kind of like finding an EC&M in mint condition - it doesn't normally happen. You'd swear these things were damaged during manufacturing in some cases.
