More fizz than a champagne tasting! Well, maybe not as much(or as much fun!). This CD 252 Cable was originally used in the steel mills in Buffalo NY. It was in an old lineman's collection. I would call the color medium aqua, and its full of tiny micro bubbles, as well as a few floaters and wisps of steam. There are a few small chips and dings(see pic), but no major damage. I'll price this one accordingly at $12.00 plus actual postage, or I can deliver it to the Martinsburg, WV show next week. Personal check or MO is fine, please no PayPal. Support your local shows!
