Here is a trio of photos from an online auction for a California CD 166 in smoke. First interpretation of two of the photos suggests it is an inclusion-filled insulator with light amber streaks-- or is it just staining or just some wonky photography? Plenty of time before the auction closes, so why jump to conclusions when you can get additional information before you make a bidding decision?

Herd mentality thought differently and bidded it up to $175.00 at the closing minute. Here is the full listing: https://www.apro.bid/auction/2165/item/insulator-california-177297

Was it a good deal or will it be a nasty surprise? See requested but unposted new photos [ id=595340720]
