Up for sale is an absolutely beauty of a charactered, centenarian Canadian Pacific CD 143 in the [060] embossing style and a light green colour. The glass of this one really shows the somewhat archaic manufacturing techniques encorporated in the 1880s in Canada, with bubbles, potstones, black carbon flakes, milky swirls, and a rather exaggerated swirl-start to the threads. The swirls start is shown in the lowest photo, and it affects the bubbles surrounding the base of the pinhole, as many of them are elongated and pulled in the same direction as the swirling of the glass shown on the exterior surface of the glass on the inner edge of the skirt. There is one beauty of a 1/2" wide bubble right behind the CAN embossing, and several other smaller bubbles throughout the front and rear skirt. Milky swirls follow the orientation of the thread both above the pinhole and throughout the skirt and crown near where the pinhole runs, and within these milky swirls, tiny flecks of black carbon can be found throughout the glass. Just a beautiful piece character-wise!

As far as condition goes, this style is normall an issue, but this piece if FANTASTIC! Looks like the damage is limited to a fleabite on the front right crown, another on the lower wire ridge below that, and a bit of scratching in the wire groove. Certainly one of the best condition examples of this embossing/mould style I have ever seen!
