You are rich in C.N.R. Purples Craig!I think you are really fortunate to have found so many as i dont think there has been a significant find of those in nearly 30 years? I thought they were long gone south and locked up in collections.I like the swirly ones best!

I was shocked to see the price of the one in Ray's last auction wow. I have 2 more that have light purples swirls with a deep torquise/steel base colour and both have some amber to boot. the 040 is the only C.N.R. embossing I really collect in the cnr runs.

I have only one medium purple large embossing C.N.R that i bought from Ken Morrow about 4 years ago. I picked a damaged C.N.R. Large embossing just out of Prince Albert in the late seventies.Color was Black Violet with damage I have never seen an Insulator in thAT color ever,I am still trying to get it back..
I picked a ton of Prism Greens here just north of saskatoon back in the nineties,Probably close to 75 pieces in varying shades of green,The tough ones were blue aqua in color !Go figure!..
