In addition to the variety of CD 131 styles, the Central of Georgia Railway telegraph line also carried two different CD 131.4 styles. This picture is of a CD 131.4 embossed "L. G. T. & Co. (skirt)" with "Pat Jan. 25, 1870 / Pat Feb. 22, 1870" on the back skirt. The insulator is light powder blue with a {MLOD}. These were found in small numbers on the line running North from Macon, GA to Atlanta, GA. This style was much more common than was the CD 131 Tillotson style. I think I either traded or sold about eight to a dozen into the hobby.
