3 days of Action

Postby novascotiaglass » Mon Mar 21, 2011 7:14 pm

About a month ago I was able to add these 5 pieces within a 3 day period.

Saturday - Both pieces came in a trade with a local collector
1. CD 102 NN Can backwards 2 on the dome. The colour on this one I believe to be unlisted. I have a seen a few light purples and this one is more like a purple tint, almost gray it has such little purple in it. Condition is sweet to boot, only a small base slice.
2. CD 126 NE Can. This one is in aqua but has some nice milk throughout and a few amber trailers as well. Condition is mint. Third one of these I have been able to add to my collection, super happy with it....only gotta wait 25 years more to get Dad's 3 from him.

Sunday - Purchased from a different long time local collector
1. CD 143 GN W in grayish/greenish/purplish. Always wanted one of these and finally got the chance to pick one out of an old time collection. Spoke for it awhile back, glad I did. Nice graphite bubble in this guy as well.
2. CD 143 NE Can in aqua. Not sure which mold this is but I think it is a threaded threadless mold. Local collector I got it from picked it up in an auction (box full of dishes with one insulator) just one week earlier. I can't get enough of the old hives.

Monday - Purchased off of the E-place
1. CD 143 Horizontal Withy in green. Have wanted one of these for a long time and they always seem to go higher than I am willing to go, not sure what happened with this one as the condition is superb and the price was definitely right. Not a fan of buying pieces online, but I doubt I am going to find one locally so I went for it.

I seem to be having long stretches without finding anything, so adding these pieces gave me some renewed enthusiasm.

Also threw in a pic of my collection as it stood about a month ago. Pics were taken around that time, no snow on the ground now :)

I have to agree with Reid ,really awesome pieces.That 102 has to be one of the toughest canuck poys to get in that tint.Dont see the 126 canadians out here,super nice piece with the amber for sure. ) By the way were is that 737.5 cobalt monster that you exhumed? :)

The 737.5 is sitting on Dad's shelf. We decided it was a good idea to leave it there so it gives him the motivation to go find the other half of it everytime he goes in his insulator room and sees it there staring at him.

I have a few more pics of it in natural light that ill throw on here at some point. It's a very pretty insulator.

Some fantastic stuff, Jason! Congrats on those amazing finds!
I love the backwards '2' CD-102. I do know of one other in that same colour, although it has been split into three pieces by frost and was reglued. Certainly a much more rare colour than the "regular" royal purple examples! The CD-126 is fantastic as well!
Take care, man
