Picked these last week and hope to get more next week from the same vendor. On the left is a CD 106 EIN [120] (F-Skirt) HEMINGRAY-9 (R-Skirt) MADE IN U.S.A. RDP in either dark 7-Up Green or Yellow Green. It has a single pinpoint peck on the dome.

On the right is a CD 143 EIN [170] (F-Skirt) CANADIAN.PACIFIC.RY.CO {Two variations - one comes with a third period after 'CANADIAN'; the other comes with a third period after 'CO'} SB with the third period after CANADIAN. Color is Light Aqua with a squiggly thread of amber running around. A teeny wire rub in the groove at the left mold line keeps it from mint.

But the real treasure is in the middle: a gorgeous CD 114.2 EIN [010] (Base) THE STANDARD GLASS INSULATOR CO./BOSTON MASS. BE in sparkling Blue Aqua. The only damage to this ancient relic is a ¼" sheer flake off the lower wire groove in the rear and the white tic that can be seen on the second S in GLASS in the base embossing. This one fills a longstanding hole in my CD collection, and will never have to be upgraded. Thanks for looking.
