Up for grabs is this light blue G.T.P.TEL.CO. CD 145, in the "N.W." blotted out behind "T.P." embossing style. This one is nice and shiny, and has a really exceptional amount of character in the form of some bubbly, fizzy streaks thoughout the crown, and numerous deep creases/wrinkles all across the entire insulator. The creases and concentrated mainly on the crown and rear skirt areas. The inner skirt also has a few pronounced "harelips".

In excellent condition with just a few wire groove scuffs. I'd call it "VNM".

I'm now asking $27 USD plus actual shipping cost for this character piece. 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.
