CD 102 (No Embossing) – These are the 1st repo'd insulator in the hobby. An Owens Glass Company employee made some of these in the early 1970's. They were threaded with wet wooden cobs.

CD 120 CEW - Supposedly these had been saved by an old lineman from a line that went from the Grass Valley to Marysville in California. They came out after the CD 123 J-M pieces and are found in Cobalt Blue, Amber, Burgundy, Purple, etc.
