CD-162.3 - STAR Sold For: $352 Color: Blue
| Only two STAR insulators have wedge drip points, the CD 102 and this one. While the CD 102 is uncommon, this style is quite rare! A fracture starts at the base of the skirt in the rear and goes up to the wire groove and entirely around the insulator, ending in the upper wire ridge. Three 1" scallop bruises on the base. The drip points are pretty chipped up. Outstanding display from the front where one can hardly see any of the damage. Rarely offered for sale, this might be your only chance to acquire one! |

CD-162.3 - BROOKFIELD Sold For: $1,815 Color: Aqua w/ Wire Loop
| What an amazing "junk-in-glass" insulator! There is a huge piece of wire, about the diameter of a coat hanger, forming a loop over 1" in diameter centered in the upper wire ridge. Within this loop, there are two sections where the wire makes two 360-degree loop-de-loops. Where the ends meet, they are hooked together. To make the wire even more pronounced, there are bubbles all around the outer surface of the wire and amber streaks running vertically from the skirt to the top of the pinhole. 1/4" base chip on the side opposite the wire loop, otherwise very near mint. We have never seen a piece of wire this large embedded in an insulator before. It's perfectly centered between the dome and the skirt, and the thick wire ridge creates a magnifying effect for the middle of the loop. This is a top-shelf example for a "junk-in-glass" collector, or anyone who appreciates oddities! It's hard to put an estimate on this stunning rarity! |

CD-162.3 - STAR Sold For: $110 Color: Deep Apple Green EIN: [010]
| These big brute STAR insulators have been assigned CD 162.3 to differentiate them from your standard CD 162 signal. 1/2" lightning flashover on the front, otherwise about very near mint. A standout STAR for your collection! |

CD-162.3 - STAR Sold For: $253 Color: Steel Blue w/ hints of Purple
| 3/8" base flake and two stress lines up from the base, all in the rear, otherwise very near mint. You can see a bit of a purple halo from the wire ridge up and over the pinhole. This style is a "chubby" and is a much heavier variant of a CD 162. The nice large bold star adds to the appeal! |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
CD-162.3 - BROOKFIELD Sold For: $286 Color: Light Purple Gray Two Tone
| Overall, very good condition! A few cold-pour creases can be seen wiggling around the skirt and up into the dome. The thick dome glass certainly accentuates the purple! (#6239) |
