This CD 263 is embossed COLUMBIA and the inside of the outer skirt is threaded. I think the color is a bit darker than light aqua. The condition is outstanding. I could include the fine tooth comb that I used looking this piece over! I have seen right here on ICON, similar insulators in very good condition sell in the $225 range. I'm asking what I think is a very fair price of $170. I take checks, money orders or PayPal, no fee.
