I don't see many charactered Hemingray pieces from the 10s-20s era show up, so I thought someone on here might appreciate this pair.

At left is a CD 154 Hemingray - 42 in the [090] EIN with nothing unusual about its embossing. This one is a typical Hemingray blue aqua shade. It has an amber polywog embedded in the glass right behind the dash, and has a light dose of snow for added kick. I count 6 partly chips drips, a couple associated with small flakes that extend into the inner edge of the base.

At right is a CD 152 Hemingray - 40 in the [040] EIN in a sort of green aqua shade. This one has a solid smattering of snow and tiny fizzy bubbles throughout, and also has what appears to be a small piece of metal embedded in the front skirt, right below the "H". It's in reasonably good shape, with 5 damaged drips, four of which are associated with a small base flake in the front skirt.

I'm asking $22 USD plus shipping for the pair. 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.
