Posted for Tim Wood's ICON question: "How many of you own or have owned or have maybe even seen a CD 120 unembossed CEW in a peach color? I'm referring to PEACH, not straw?"

I believe the shade that might be considered by some as 'peach' comes from the beginning of the transformation that occurs when these unembossed CEWs are initially exposed to the UV rays of the sun. Some of those that were found in a crawlspace at the Mission Inn in Riverside, CA, had little to no exposure to sunlight. Many were straw in color, some had varying pinkish tints. When these straw CD 120s see a very minimal amount of UV exposure, a pink tint begins to appear, giving the yellow straw a 'peachy' tone (what you would expect when the color yellow is hit with a splash of pink or purple). Further exposure moves them to more of a solid pink shade, then continued exposure moves them to purple.

Here is a photo of three shades: straw; pink; and purple. The straw and pink came directly from the collector that acquired them from the maintenance worker that picked them from the Mission Inn back in the 1970s.

I see that the current price guide does not list 'peach'. I believe this could be a shade that some might generally interpret as 'pink'? I once owned one I would call 'peachy pink', being a little lighter than my current one and having a slight yellow hue. I keep some pretty extensive records of insulator sales and I have inputs of 'peach' and 'straw peach'. I believe the shade of peach in glass can be perceived differently by some, so a collector may own one and consider it pink or pinkish straw and may not respond to a request for peach?
