I bought an second one of these at a recent show. Even with a photo of my first one on my phone. The lighter colored insulators look much different in different light. The second one is so close in color that I have to sell one. I searched ICON to come up with a comparable CD 143, and found only one (which was also very fizzy). These like the one on ICON are in the light yellow green family, but have some olive and some sage mixed in. SO.... SYOG stands for Sage-Yellow-Olive-Green.

Both are close in color but the Left one has a little more green in it and the Right one a little more yellow. This is probably not detetable in the photos, but the over head lit photo show more the the sage and olive colors. Both are MLOD, SB, EIN060. Both are very fizzy. I am willing to sell only one of these, not both of them.

Left: There is a 1.25 inch deep wire wear on the lower wire ridge on the back of the insulator about a half inch from the left mold line. There is a tiny annealing line in the treads (circled on one of the photos). There are two flea bites above the wire groove at the left mold line. The line by the wire wear is a stretched bubble. There is some chipping around the pin hole and an eraser size skirt flake below CANADIAN. $30 plus shipping.

Right: There is an eraser size skirt flake between CANADIAN and PACIFIC. There is a small open bubble on the back edge of the skirt. $70 plus shipping.

The CD 143 is small enough that I can ship it in an overstuffed padded priority envelope for $11. It might be a little less to use USPS Ground Advantage, it depends on how far away you live from me.
