Up for sale is yet another of these signal types with the ultra-heavy copper wires still attached. This one is a little different, though - one side street in London, ON used Hemingray - 20 CD 165s for whatever reason. I have only encountered these this one time and was more than happy to give them a home and spare them from the dumpster! As usual, these have a No. 2 gauge copper conductor and a No. 7 gauge tie wire. Both are still partially covered with the original cloth covering giving them a fantastic patina. These always look great on outdoor displays or within a sub-collection of tie wired insulators. A somewhat scarce style with an unusually heavy bit of copper still attached!

This one has a 1954 date code - probably among the last signals to be put up in the air in London, ON.

The condition of this one is pretty good, with a 1/4" scratch in the right upper wire groove, and a 1/8" ping on the rear upper wire ridge.

I'm asking $20.00 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!
