CD-102.4 - NEW ENG.TEL.& TEL.CO. Sold For: $462 Color: Blue Aqua
| This insulator was produced for the New England Telephone & Telegraph Company. One often judges these by the amount of damage to the sharp lower wire ridge. This one only has 1/8" flake. Nearby, there's a 1/2" chip on the upper wire ridge. 1/8" base flake, 3/4" base flake/chip removes the "L.Co." A very difficult CD to acquire! |

CD-102.4 - NEW ENG.TEL.& TEL.CO. Sold For: $1,265 Color: Blue Aqua
| On first looking at the photo of this insulator, you probably said "Wow! The wire ridge is in great condition!" The wire ridge is often heavily damaged, but this insulator has just a couple of 1/4" flakes and dings. 1/4" base flake and a hard-to-see "rainbow" bruise on the dome. Don't let that scare you; it displays great! A tough piece for the CD collector, these units are rarely offered for sale. It's all about the wire ridge and this is better than nearly all of them! |

CD-102.4 - NEW ENG. TEL. & TEL.CO. Sold For: $231 Color: Light Aqua
| Some typical flaking on the wire ridge. About 1/4 of the wire ridge in the rear has heavier flaking. The piece is out-of-round, tilted and has a neat underpour. The latter affects some of the base embossing. A tough CD to get and this one is a great character piece and unique! |
