Here's a set of three different tougher-to-find variations in the G.N.W. CD 145 embossing. I've always been a fan of these GNW CD 145s, and have kept a close eye out for variations over the years. How can you not love that great big, bold embossing?

From left to right:

1.) [010] EIN with no blotouts and "thin" embossing. This is the same mold the purple shades are found in. This is a deep blue aqua shade that is much less commonly encountered than even the purple shades. This example has a couple small black pieces of metal or other junk suspended in the rear skirt, and a few amber wisps throughout the dome. It's in good shape with just some wire rubbing in the front, and a 1/4" long scratch and 1/16" fleabite on the rear skirt. $20 USD plus shipping for this example.

2.) [010] EIN in a transitional mold with thicker glass and much more bold embossing. This example is a crisp light aqua colour and has some great milk and amber streaks/stringers running throughout the front skirt and front and rear crown. It also has some dramatic straw marks. For damage it has a 1/4" flake on the rear lower wire ridge but is otherwise pretty nice. $25 USD plus shipping for this one.

3.) [010] EIN in the same transitional mold as #2, but in a nice dark steel blue colour. I find this colour very similar to that listed as "dark steel blue" in the Canadian No. 2 cable CD 252 style, and I find it to be quite scarce. It is much darker and more saturated in colour than the typical steel blue examples found in the same mold as #1 in this post. This example is VNM with no visible damage apart from wire groove rubbing and some outer base roughness. $50 USD plus shipping for this piece.

I'm asking $80 for the set of three insulators. I'm always happy to trade for early Canadian glass or Canadian-made porcelain insulators. I accept PayPal, or personal cheque from any member of ICON or any collector with whom I have dealt before.
