Here's a trio of the not-too-common Dominion response to the WU Standard "hoopskirt" style. These Diamond 152s really don't turn up too often compared to the American 152s and all the more common 154 styles that quickly replaced them. These also come in some really nice pastel shades, some of which don't turn up often at all. In this trio we have, from left to right:

1.) A seemingly unlisted green aqua shade, complete with some outward "bubbling" of the glass inside the inner skirt. NM condition with just some scuffs on the rear crown and a few pinpricks and fleabites scattered around the skirt, wire ridges, and crown.

2.) Light yellowish green. This one has a great satin finish to the glass around the upper skirt and wire groove area. This has the effect of making the piece appear out of focus in the photos, but really it's just an interesting finish to the glass. NM, with one scratch on the front crown and a single fisheye on the rear crown.

3.) Straw. This is one of the most common colours in this style by a fair margin. This example is in fair shape with a couple deep scratches on the right side of the skirt, a few tiny nibbles on the outer base edge, and some wire groove and ridge rubbing.

I'm asking $40 USD plus shipping for the group of three. I'm always happy to trade for early Canadian glass or Canadian-made porcelain insulators. 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. I'm also happy to deliver to the Perth, Ontario show this weekend as I will be in attendance. I hope to see everyone there!
