Up for sale is this poor, weathered old B CD 164. Through its countless years of service this one must have grown weary from carrying all that copper and looks like it's about to lay its head down to take a rest. As well as the lean, this one also has a rather deformed pinhole, where it appears the mandrel must have dragged along the threads in the top of the pinhole on its way out and produced the piled up mound of glass and partially threadless pinhole combination found there now. I imagine this one originated from here in London, Ontario, where quite a few of these B CD 164s were used in aqua, green and olive green. Unfortunately I can't say for certain. This one is more green in person than the photos show - kinda tough to catch those darker green shades sometimes.

The condition of this one, short of its obviously tiring integrity, is good. There is a 3/8" deep scratch on the front right-side upper wire ridge. Apart from that I don't see anything wrong with it.

I'm asking $16.00 U.S. plus shipping for this one. I accept PayPal, or personal cheque from any member of ICON or any collector with whom I have dealt before. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or for more photos, and look through my other items or unsold sales stock to combine shipping on items. All the best!
