3 days of Action
Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 7:14 pmAbout 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
