Just a quick shot of my modest group of Canadian "slope shoulder" CD 133.2s. These are an early piece used across Canada, but not generally encountered without a thorough bit of scrounging these days. I've only ever lucked upon a few of them here in S.W. Ontario, and it's taken some travelling, trading and luck to pick up this little group. There are lots of shades and colours I don't have yet!

From left to right:

1. Dark Yellow Green example that came from an old-timer collector here in S.W. Ontario and was probably used locally. A dreadfully scarce colour to find. This one is still dirty from being taken off the line, and I'll be keeping it that way.

2. Green, with amber swirling all throughout that gives a slight two-tone appearance with a bit of teal in the dome. Potstones and swirls all throughout give it a great bit of character. My girlfriend gave me this one for Christmas this year, but its origins can be traced through other collectors to the late Banks Brothers of S.W. Ontario threadless digging fame.

3. Greenish teal aqua. Purchased from Mr. Peter Abbott at one of the many Mid Ohio shows I've attended. Beautiful piece with no provenance, but a good bit of colour.

4. Teal aqua. Another Peter Abbott purchase. Thanks again, Peter!

5. Light aqua example with milky swirls. Oddly enough, this one is extra tall. Purchased from either of the 2003 or 2004 National show from a forgotten face. Thanks to whoever you are, as this one's one of my favourites.
