Here's a modest trio: a group of three "common" Canadian CD 154s in different shades. These are all [010] Dominion CD 154s with no mold number on the rear skirt, and all have the high embossing on the front skirt. Most folks undoubtedly don't care about stuff like this, but I've always had a soft spot for sussing out different mold variations and such. I've always liked these Dominions with the odd embossing placement. From left to right,

1.) Peach. This is about as dark as peach shades get in the Dominion 154 style. This is an incredible vivid colour when viewed in a window. Honestly it rivals some of the lighter amber shades in its depth, but with more a pink tone. This example is VNM with no visible damage that I can see.

2.) Light peach. This is a truly common colour in Canada - probably among the most common insulators in the country! Nonetheless, it's a great colour. This example also has a super wonky inner skirt, with the cavity between the inner and outer skirts extending MUCH higher on one side than the other. This sets it apart a bit from the norm. One tiny 1/8" flake on the rear left upper wire ridge and a light haze on the inside of the skirt, likely from being on the ground.

3.) Green aqua. This specific shade has always appealed to me for its great, watery look. This example has some fizz/bubbles throughout and lots of straw marks on the skirt. VNM apart from a light scratch below the '42'.

I'm asking $24 USD plus shipping for the group of 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.
