| CD 131.4 L.G.T & Co. |
 |
| 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. |
| CD 131.4 No Embossing |
 |
| This is a CD 131.4 No Embossing early "signal" style which was found on the Central of Georgia Railway telegraph line. It was found North of Macon, GA. I found this one and two others which had been damaged. I think that this might have been made either by Tillotson or might be early Brookfield production. I'm going to post a photo of the L.G. Tillotson along with the no embossing style. |
| CD 131.4 L.G.T & Co. vs. No Embossing |
 |
| This picture compares the CD 131.4 No Embossing early "signal" style which was found on the Central of Georgia Railway telegraph line with the CD 131.4 L.G. & T Co. As you can see, they appear to be nearly identical. |
