It was asked on ICON for a photo of the two California CD 152 variants. On the right is the very early production "Taper Top" profiled unit. Note the tapered dome and skirt. These are only known in California Blue and aqua. They are rare. The only installation of these I have direct knowledge of was in the L.A. area, on the AT&SF.

On the left is an even rarer normal mold profile unit in aqua. The style is common, but the color is super rare in this style. Both examples I know of came off AT&SF lines, one in Arizona. The other in Colorado.

Also of recent discussion are a pair of yellow Californias. I have an identical pair of the RT variants on the left. They are a pretty golden yellow with one side having turned a more orange-peach color. They were used on a telephone strike on a house, under the eaves and only the side facing away from the house turned a tiny bit toward purple.

On the right is a bright lemon yellow PT variant that is laced with fine blue swirls.

Collectors unfamiliar with Californias often think a yellow is a yellow, with no variation. But this just isn't the case. The yellows are as varied as the purple shades they would turn, if exposed to the sun.
