A CD 160 embossed CALIFORNIA . I would call it a medium shade of purple. There is a rather small flat spot (see photo) on the wire groove ridge just above the embossed IA. Looks to me to be a factory caused blemish. There is an even smaller, but similar spot on the back side wire groove ridge. Minor roughness around the base of the skirt where excess glass was trimmed. I mention all of this but I'd still say the insulator is in very good condition. Just look at the photo and you'll probably agree. Now asking just $30.00 and the shipping is free.
