Here's an oddball that doesn't come along every day: an Argentinian CD 155 with base embossing that sets it apart from most pintype glass out there. This must also be among the last glass telegraph pintypes produced globally, as it has a 1979 date on the base. The full embossing reads:

VIDRIOS TECNICOS E.N.Tel INDUSTRIA ARGENTINA 1979

Overall its profile looks a little bit different than most 155s as you can see. Its colour is a light grey shade.

This one is in VNM condition, with just one match head fleabite on the '9' in the 1979 embossing. This damage partly obscures the 9 as you may be able to see. Otherwise this one is great.

I'm now asking $33 USD plus shipping. 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.
