eBay Auction Description:

CD 154 (F-skirt) E.F.C.R. 7-UP Green Not your average CD 154! This beautiful insulator surfaced in 2009, as part of a collection. It is a glowing 7-UP green with lots of snow. Drip points lean more toward sharp than round.

The collector who removed the insulator from service hunted insulators primarily in Illinois in the 1960s, and later in Colorado. When I asked him the location of this piece, he could not recall where he discovered it, only that "my insulator collection came from old Illinois railroad lines and western Colorado." This is the only known insulator with the "E.F.C.R." embossing. Manufacturer unknown.

There is a thumbnail chip/bruise to the front upper wire grove, and a small base chip. 4 drips are sliced in half. Still a top-shelf piece!
