Here we have some great foreign glass. The CD 578 Folembray is unlisted in G.I.F.O.N.A. but several examples are in existence. The seller I bought this from had an interesting story attached to this piece: It is said that this insulator was removed from the side of the Folembray factory with help of the mayor of the town… I do not know if that is true but it is interesting to think about. The piece is in amazing condition and I cannot find a thing wrong with it. See the October 2003 issue of Crown Jewels for more information on this piece. Book value on other CD 578s ranges from $50-75. Given the scarcity of this style, I am asking $85 plus shipping.

The CD 430 A.G.M. in light straw is a nicely colored Australian piece that is much more common. There is a 1/2 "chip on the base of the rear skirt. Otherwise, this piece is mint. I am asking $5 plus shipping for it.

Or, I'll do a package deal of $95 shipping included (insurance extra) for both pieces to the U.S. Thanks for looking.
