Both of these U-108s are a little bit more special than the average. Both originated from here in S.W. Ontario, where the Canada Southern/Michigan Central (later CN CASO) used quite a lot on its telegraph circuits.

On the left is an example with an odd mottled colour with white to blonde highlights on the dome and wire ridges. VNM

On the right is a shade of "rust mustard". Perhaps not as bright as some, but overall a gorgeous shade that is lighter and more vibrant in person than I can capture in photos. It looks especially great in bright natural light. This one has several glazed over cracks. Appears to have a 1" wide black/base bruise on one side that is nearly invisible and may be from manufacture. It's difficult to tell because of the crudity of the dry process porcelain.

Asking $20 each or $35 for the pair plus shipping from Canada. I accept PayPal, or personal cheque from any member of ICON or any collector with whom I have dealt before. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or for more photos, and look through my other items or unsold sales stock to combine shipping on items.
