Lot 4: CD 151 H.G.CO. [030] Color: Dark Electric Blue Description: What a stunning color! From left to right in view 3 is a CD 151 in Peacock Blue, this insulator, a Dark Electric Blue signal, and an Electric Blue signal. We compared this insulator with the others and it is clearly in the Electric Blue range. It is common for Electric Blue insulators to have some milk in them, and this example has a nice milk worm starting in the front skirt, running up to the threads and wrapping around them. Given the comparison with the other colors, the best name for this coloration is "Dark Electric Blue." 4-drip-point bruise at the left mold line and an associated 1/4" chip that affects 1 drip point, otherwise the drip points on both skirts seem to be perfect. 1/4" bruise on the dome, two 1/8" bruises on the wire ridge, 3/8" bruise on the lower wire ridge near the mold line. They all fade away when the piece is backlit. We have not seen a CD 151 in this color before; it's a very rare and desirable insulator! Estimate: $3,000 - $3,500 Open: $1 Price Realized: $2,200 |
