Up for sale is a great THICK diamond CD 102 in the [040] vertical bar listing. The dome on this one contains just under 1 1/4" of solid glass. Although this mould style is often encountered with a similarly large amount of dome glass, rarely does a specimen with this much glass turn up, and certainly not with such amazing milky swirling, AND great big globby bubbles like the ones in this one! The big milky swirl in the dome swirls around about 360 degrees over top of the pinhole, while another swirl hugs the surface of the glass and swirls a similar extent. Both show up beautifully while underlit. The photos don't do justice to the swirling, but you get the idea. If the swirls weren't enough, the presence of 3 elongated bubbles in the front skirt, and 3 larger spherical ones suspended in the thick dome glass. This piece is definitely a shelf-topper, and a conversation stopper!

If all the junk wasn't enough, this one is in great shape. The only visible damage is a single very faint 1/4" fisheye ping on the right side of one of the skirts. Great condition!

I'm asking $20.00 plus shipping for this great CD 102 specimen! I accept PayPal, or any kind of personal or cashier's cheque, or money orders. Please feel free to take a look through my other insulators under the "For sale (not sold)" directory, and combine items to save on shipping. I always package well, and have never had an insulator (or pin!) arrive broken. All the best!
