Top row, left to right:

CD 106.2 PSSA #9 light blue aqua. A scarce little CD that is best known for its distinctive flat dome. We have sold these at auction for well over $600+. This example has about a one inch area of chipping on the sharp upper wire ridge (see left side in pic) and a couple other small areas of very light flaking. (NLA)

CD 133.5 Tel Fed Mex JM in an unlisted jade teal blue. Pic shows it much darker than it actually is and will pass light from top to bottom. With 10 being highest for density of jade found in glass insulators, this is about a 6. Really unusual and will contrast well with the more commonly found non opaque teal blue examples. (NLA)

CD 258 "Devil's Ears" with a nice amber steak at front left from the skirt up to the left ear. Vnm with just a couple small pings/flakes. (NLA)

CD 134 Fall River Police Signal blue aqua. Bruising at the base of the threads involving a little less than half of the circumference; not a big issue since it's pretty much hidden from view. About a half dozen extremely minor surface pecks to the exterior. Great deal at $115. (SOLD)

Bottom row, left to right:

CD 113 Hemingray No 12 with prism embossing in bubbly milky blue. Nice, rich shade of blue with lots of character! There is an arc shaped bruise on the base of the Patent side (see pic), but it sort of blends in with the crudeness of the insulator. Sharp drips all look great and displays vnm+ from the Hemingray side. (NLA)

CD 121 R Good Jr purple with lighter striations in dome. A semi flat arc chip on the base (see pic) and some very minor typical surface annealing lines. This toll was a longtime resident of the Milholland collection and is the actual insulator pictured on page 94 of Milholland's Bicentennial insulator bible. A great pedigree on this one! (NLA)

CD 166.2 NN Pennycuick apple green. Exceptional vnm+ on this seldom seen color for this CD. Currently books at $400-500. (NLA)

CD 734.8 NN dark olive. As with most, there's some skirt damage, primarily to one side, as seen in pic. Previous owner placed a small wood pin in the pinhole to assist it for standing upright. Displays nearly vnm from the opposite side. Leave it as is, or a good candidate for repair. (NLA)
