Here's a hard to find CD 154 Asturias (front) Transmisiones (reverse) in Green Blackglass- leaning towards Olive! Doesn't have the huge dimple in the top of the pinhole like the Emerald Green ones. These were used during the Spanish Civil war in 1936-39 to replace damaged insulators in the small region of Asturias. Most were ruined in the war.

This beauty is Very Near Mint (better than most!) Small sliver base chip removes one drip and Otherwise, only one tiny tic mark! These were made with annealing cracks both surface and some internal- similar to Denver and California insulators. This one only has a few of them. The material used to make these insulators is very brittle and its amazing any have survived. You may never get another opportunity to get one this nice of condition! Here's a pic of the base: [id=612885258] Photos taken with strict 5000K full spectrum lighting.

First email that says they will buy it gets this rare CD 154 for only $200 plus shipping! U.S. Thanks!
