Here's a nice piece that doesn't come along every day: a B.T.C. over CANADA [MONTREAL blotted out] CD 102 in a nice dark purple colour. This one is odd because of a significant amount of milky swirls throughout - something more often seen in aqua Canadian insulators than these purple shades. In addition, this one leans to one side a bit as shown, because of a protruding and slightly deformed inner base edge on one side. This one came from a Bell Canada lineman's collection I picked up earlier this summer, and was pulled from a pole somewhere in the Cayuga, Ontario area in the early 1970s.

This example is in VNM condition with just a light bit of roughness and a few tiny flakes around the outer and inner base edge mold lines, a scuff on the rear skirt, and another couple scuffs on the front left crown.

I'm now asking $225 USD plus shipping for this one. I'm always happy to trade for early Canadian glass or Canadian-made porcelain insulators. I have a long-standing want list of Canadian-made porcelain posted, [id=505519866; please click here to see it]. 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.
