Lot 100: CD 162 H.G.CO. [070] Color: Milky Electric Blue Description: What immediately strikes you is the dome, which is filled with milky impurities. There is a large area in the middle in which there appear to be fissures. However, these are identical to the crazing that you see in thick areas of impurities in the CD 257 Electric Blue Mickey Mouse insulators. They do not reach the surface of the glass. If this amount of milk and snow were in a Mickey, it would be an outstanding piece. However, to find this in a CD 162 is unheard of. The insulator is in outstanding condition. If you are picky, there may be a 1/8" paper-thin flake on the skirt. [ UPDATE: In view 2, above the "H.G." there is a chunk of "snow" in the wire ridge. It is fully enclosed and is not damage. It just creates an odd distortion pattern. The diagonal lines to the upper left of it are just some normal surface creases.] The photos don't accurately capture the color and uniqueness of this insulator. It looks much better when you hold it in your hand. Are you going to be the one who gets to hold it in your hand? Give it a shot! View 1 is taken base-lit. View 2 is front-lit in the sun. View 3 is backlit in a light box. Estimate: $2,000 - $2,500 Open: $1 Price Realized: $3,410 |
