Here's a lineup with a couple less-often-seen Dominion 42 shades. From left to right:

1) Light green example in the [020] EIN. This one is for colour comparison mostly as it's a common shade of green in the Dominion 42s. It has a couple nicks, and I'd happily throw it in for free if someone is interested in one of the other examples.

2.) A very strange "light olive green" or perhaps a shade of "grey green". I ran into a couple dozen of these along an old section of CPR line years ago and still have a few left. It's a [020] with a small '5' beneath the Diamond D on the rear skirt. Note this one is a less common, later mold style with a more bulbous skirt, higher wire groove, and sharper wire ridges. For whatever reason this mold style tends to come in some strange colours, and this one is no exception. VNM with just a bit of wire rubbing in the wire groove. $60 USD + shipping.

3.) A relatively scarce "gingerale" example. This is a very distinctive colour that falls somewhere between straw and light green, with pronounced elements of both colours. This example is the [020] with a small '4' beneath the Diamond D. Two 1/8" impacts, one beside the Diamond D in the rear and another on the lower wire ridge above the 'DO' embossing. Otherwise I see a few other scattered fleabites on the skirt and inner skirt edge. $20 USD.

4.) a nice peach example in the [020] and notably in the same mold series as the olive/grey green example second from left. This one is mostly for colour comparison but since it's a nice peach shade and a less common mold someone might want it. It's VNM with only some wire groove rubbing. I'd ask $10 for it.

$75 USD plus shipping for all 4 (or if you don't want the common light green then just the three). 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. 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.
