A great pair of Canadian Pacific CD 143s in the [010] "split embossing" with rounded base edge. At left is a light yellow green example with hints of the upside down "RY" still remaining - this one from a Winnipeg-area CNR line (yes, you read that correctly - don't as me what it was doing there). At right is a zinger light lime green example used here in S.W. Ontario. The light lime green example has a great cascade of carbon and milk down the rear pinhole along the threads. Both are full of microbubbles, as seems to be typical of these colours.

For whatever reason the lower (rear) photo came out a bit washed out. The true colour of both insulators is a bit more yellowish. The light yellow green example especially seems to show up as an almost aqua shade in my photo.

Both examples are in good shape. Both are VNM apart from some light roughness around the inner base edge from what I can see. Both also have some wire groove rubbing.

I'm asking $90 USD plus shipping for the pair. I accept PayPal, or personal cheque from any member of ICON or any collector with whom I have dealt before. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or for more photos, and look through my other items or unsold sales stock to combine shipping on items.
