Here's an absolutely KILLER Canadian toll that is right out of my own personal collection. At various stages in the past I've tried to get out of collecting Canadian tolls, but the odd one always seems to hang around because I find it hard to part with. This one hasn't survived the cull this time around and I've decided to send it on to another appreciative collector. This one is embossed B.T.C. over CANADA with a MONTREAL blotout. The colour is this one is what drew me to it - it's a sort of purple-tinted steely grey colour in the skirt, with a much deeper lavender colour in the dome top above the pinhole. If the two tone colour effect wasn't enough, this one also has some awesome amber/olive swirls throughout the skirt and the thick dome glass, as shown.

The only significant damage on this piece is a 1 cm wide "fisheye" bruise on the right side of the crown, as shown in the far right image, as well as a much smaller 5 mm wide BB ping on the front crown.

I'm asking $200 USD plus shipping for this one. The damage is unfortunate, but the colour and amber inclusions in this one are among the best I've seen. I'm always happy to trade for early Canadian glass or Canadian-made porcelain insulators. I have a long-standing want list of Canadian-made porcelain posted, please click here to see it. 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.
