Up for sale is a beauty of a diamond 102 - this piece is trying to be a shade of teal blue or green, but is so full of amber that the colour doesn't show through too well. If one were to remove all the amber swirls running throughout the piece, one would be left with a sparkling teal pony. The piece is in the mould style commonly associated with teal blue and teal green diamond ponies, which is in itself a difficult mould style to find. Some areas in the skirt do show some of the base teal colour through.

This piece was found with an example in an identical mould style, and amber-swirled teal colour but with the amber swirls less dispersed so as to still show some of the teal shade through the insulator.

The insulator is in great condition - just a few fleabites and a couple scratches. The worst damage is a fisheye 3/8" in diametre on the right hand lower wire ridge. The rear base edge has a 3/8" by 1/8" flat flake along the outer base edge. The rear skirt has a 1/4" scratch/ping, while the rear crown has a 3/8" scratch and a 1/8" fleabite. Apart from this, there is some normal wear in the wire groove. The damage sounds a lot worse than it is for a very difficult mould style and colour to find.

I'm asking $65.00 U.S. plus shipping for this example. It will make a great addition to your collection of Canadian ponies. I accept PayPal, money orders or bank cheques, or personal cheques from any member of ICON, or anyone I have dealt with before. Please feel free to look through my previously unsold items in the "For Sale (Not Sold)" folder, and combine purchases to save on shipping.

I will also be attending the Springfield show this weekend if you would like the piece delivered and will be there.
