Up for sale is this great B.T.Co. OF CAN pony in the [080] embossing with 'B.T.Co. of CAN" on one side and diamonds on both. This one is a pastel light aqua colour as is standard in these, but with a very cool curly amber swirl that spirals its way from the rear wire groove up into the front dome and does a couple loops before disappearing. Certainly a lot more character than this style of pony normally has. Reminds me of Shirley Temple's golden curls! This one came out of the same small collection as the two ambered Brookfield ponies.

The condition of this one is great. Some of those shallow, surface annealing cracks that form on basically all Canadian insulators from this era, and a bit of rusty scratching in the wire groove in the rear. Short of that, it looks good!

I'm asking $12.00 U.S. plus shipping for this curly Canadian pony. 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!
