CD-136.4 - {No name} Sold For: $319 Color: Teal Aqua
 | Although one can look at this and consider it unembossed, upon close inspection there is a small number, perhaps an "8", above the wire ridge and a dot on the opposite side of the crown. Gunky! There are some bubble trails and amber around the insulator and snow everywhere! 3/4" chip on both wire ridges on the rear, 1/4" chip on the lower wire ridge in front, hard-to-see stress line around the pinhole near the top of the dome. If you collect embossing variations, you may have overlooked this "No name" embossing! |

CD-136.4 - {Unembossed} Sold For: $374 Color: Light Aqua
 | This is the segmented thread variant which is much harder to find than the standard threaded variant which is nicknamed "Canadian Boston". These were produced by Samual Oakman's patented process for forming the segmented threads. The wire ridges on these are prone to chipping, and this example is no exception. 2" area and two 1/2" areas of wire ridge chipping. An interesting old style with segmented threads! |

CD-136.4 - {Unembossed} Sold For: $418 Color: Rich Blue
 | This is the much less common variant of this CD, with four segmented threads. Nicknamed the "Canadian Boston" due to its similarity to the CD 136.5, which has the "Boston" embossing. 1" ridge chip (repaired), 1/2" ridge chip, 1" base flake. The rich, blue color and thick dome glass, where one can see an amber swirl, make this insulator stand out! |

CD-136.4 - {No embossing} Sold For: $4,840 Color: Olive Green
