Up for sale is a very scarce and gorgeous pastel light yellow green DOMINION 42 CD 154. Dominion CD 154s are famed for coming in such a wide variety of colours, and within the bracket of tough colours to find them in, one will certainly find these light yellow green pieces. The colour is quite dissimilar to really any other shade you may encounter in these, and actually shows a very subtle two-tone colouration when viewed from below - a base light yellow green colour but with some slightly more peachy/straw-toned areas. This piece is the [010] embossing style with no mould number on the rear. This is the mould with the front embossing quite high up on the skirt for some odd reason. I was fortunate enough to locate a short section of line about 6 years ago that had about a dozen of these on poles. Only 4 of them were in anywhere near mint condition, while the remaining specimens all appeared to have been shot by BBs or had been hit by stones.

The condition of this piece, fortunately, is one of the best I was able to find. There is a 3/8" ping of some sort in the front wire groove - an odd little thing. I can't imagine how it formed, though possibly from stress on the line wire. Apart from that, there is some scattered roughness around the mould line that runs around the base edge, though this is present on basically every Dominion 42 out there. I'd call this piece NM.

I'm asking $68.00 U.S. plus shipping for this specimen. 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
