These GNW blotout Canadian 145s aren't very common in general, and are easily overlooked. The fact that a lot don't have especially strong blotouts further complicates the possibility of finding a good one. This example is a great deep, vivid peach colour and has an unusually clear blotout, with the letters "G.N.W." still quite clear at the left side of the front skirt.

This example is in good condition but does have some small nicks and scratches. The worst damage is a tiny flake about 3 mm wide on the far right side of the base, near the right mold line. Otherwise there are just a few scattered fleabites on the front crown and around the outer base edge. I'm making it sound much worse than it really is in the name of full disclosure.

I'm now asking $85 USD plus the actual cost of shipping from London, Ontario. 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, [id=505519866; 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.
