Please review all photos. This insulator has no dings, chips or apparent surface wear, but it has what I am calling internal annealing fractures: one above and to the left of the front embossing; and one below and to right extending from near the bottom across the insulator behind the front embossing. There are no impact marks, junk in glass or surface separations to indicate how the fractures formed. While one might try a clear bonding agent to seal the internal fractures, there is no apparent opening in the glass to introduce the bonding agent.

Looking to trade this difficult to find CD 126.4 for a California insulator that fits into my collection. See want list here [id=591894973] Reduced trade value because of the annealing fractures.
