There are much better views of the carbon tornado going on in the dome of this no period 010 {MLOD} Canadian Pacific RYCO CD 143 beehive. Pictured it from this view to show the flake chip at the base to the left of the embossing and the results of the steel wire just below the wire groove. The deepest dig I've ever seen on an insulator. The wire most have been loose and scrapping against the glass this insulator while on its cross arm for the ages. What is not easily noticed in my pic is that the carbon looks like it drips down the almost non existing theads. The threads themselves remind me more of a base embossed American Insulator Co. beehives. Don't know how common this is with the Candian 143's. There are also several larger sized oblong bubbles included. The biggest is on the rear side. It is approximately one 1" long and 3/8" at its widest. Looking down the votex of the tornado you find nothing circular looking. It looks more like a half inch diamond. A really cool insulator if you are into these smaller beehives. Asking $50 shipped anywhere south of the Canadian border and above the Mexican border. Will assist countries outside the US with shipping. Would prefer Pay Pal in a non fee mode. However, a money order or personal check would be fine by me.

I will also combine shipping with any other insulators I have for sale here at Icon. Email me for a quote of with insulators you would like.
