CD-267 - CABLE Sold For: $352 Color: Deep Blue Aqua
 | Note this is embossed "No 4 CABLE" and not "N.E.G.M.CO." 1/2" inner skirt flake, 1/4" by 1" area of scuffing on the outside of the ear, otherwise easily very near mint. A majority of the hobby's CD 267 insulators came from Boston's old MBTA "Orange Line", where there was a mix of all known embossings in use. Tracks were laid out in Boston as early as 1873 for horse-drawn trolleys. The old Orange Line, which was built around 1900 and decommissioned in 1988, was part of the electrification plan. This is a beautiful insulator with a lot of history! |

CD-267 - {Unembossed} Sold For: $297 Color: Blue EIN: [010]

This style of insulator was used on the Boston transit system. Tracks were laid out in Boston as early as 1873 for horse-drawn trolleys. The old Orange Line, which was built around 1900 and decommissioned in 1988, was part of the electrification plan. Own a piece of transportation history! |

CD-267 - N.E.G.M.CO. Sold For: $330 Color: "Green"
 | This insulator is nearly green in its coloration. It is unusual that there are some traces of amber swirls, especially in the ears. The amber is probably what gave the glass its green color. One can even see some impurities in the glass and overall there is a translucency to the glass. A majority of the hobby's CD 267 insulators came from Boston's old MBTA "Orange Line", where there was a mix of all known embossings in use. Tracks were laid out in Boston as early as 1873 for horse-drawn trolleys. The old Orange Line, which was built around 1900 and decommissioned in 1988, was part of the electrification plan. 1 1/4" skirt repair, otherwise very near mint. Update: View 3 shows the skirt repair front-lit. There is a lot of "junk" and amber swirls in the glass creating that translucency that you see and the color of the skirt repair actually fits in quite well! These large cable insulators are a "must" for any power collector! A nice piece of |

CD-267 - N.E.G.M.CO. Sold For: $187 Color: Aqua

CD-267 - No 4 CABLE Sold For: $242 Color: Blue Aqua
 | About as good as they get! Most of the CD 267 insulators in the hobby today were used in Boston, and there was a mix of N.E.G.M.CO., No 4 CABLE, and unembossed units. However, this piece was reportedly found in Newcastle, Pennsylvania. It is interesting that most of the examples used in Boston have rubbing from the heavy cable in the saddle groove, but this one shows no signs of that. A wonderful example of this style! |

CD-267 - {Unembossed} Sold For: $319 Color: Blue Aqua
 | Very, very near mint with the typical minor rubbing in the saddle, caused by years of use holding up heavy copper cables on the Boston transit system. Tracks were laid out in Boston as early as 1873 for horse-drawn trolleys. The old Orange Line, which was built around 1900 and decommissioned in 1988, was part of the electrification plan. This particular insulator has excellent clarity, allowing light to easily pass through the thick glass. What an attractive example! |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CD-267 - N.E.G.M. CO. Sold For: $484 Color: Lightish Minty Green
 | Better than very near mint with a little flaking at an open base bubble. Most of the CD 267 insulators in the hobby today were used in Boston: a mix of N.E.G.M.CO., No 4 CABLE, and unembossed units. This piece is definitely a great example of early transportation history! |

CD-267 - N.E.G.M. CO. Sold For: $231 Color: Fizzy "Green"
 | Crudely made with neat glass folds and an underpour on one of the ears as can be seen in view 3. Just about perfect, and just about green with just a hint of aqua! (#0407) |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CD-267 - N.E.G.M. CO. Sold For: $484 Color: Deep Green
 | A little nibbling on the mold line at the base, a factory annealing fissure in the ear. Overall very good condition. Tracks were laid out in Boston as early as 1873 for horse-drawn trolleys. The old Orange Line, which was built around 1900 and decommissioned in 1988, was part of the electrification plan. The coloration of this example is a deep and well-saturated shade of green with a hint or two of yellow. It's one of the most difficult colors to acquire in this style! (#0408) |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CD-267 - CABLE Sold For: $242 Color: Dark Yellow Green
 | 1"+ chip on one ear, 1" diameter bruise on the other ear, some bruising around the embossing. Displays quite well. Most of the CD 267 insulators in the hobby today were used in Boston: a mix of N.E.G.M.CO., No 4 CABLE, and unembossed units. This piece is definitely a great example of early transportation history! The dark yellow green color really fits in well with the other examples in this auction! (#7738) |

CD-267 - No 4 CABLE Sold For: $220 Color: Blue Aqua
 | Just about perfect! 1/4 area of very minor flaking on the inner skirt, a small area of flaking on a thread ridge. A beautiful hunk of glass! Compare with lot 203 to see an interesting difference in the length of the skirt! (#7735) |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CD-267 - N.E.G.M.CO. Sold For: $743 Color: Deep Blue
 | A little rubbing on the ears, a thumbnail patch on the outside of the ear that appears to be lightly polished perhaps during use. There is some characteristic cable groove rubbing, showing its years of use supporting large copper cables. A long time collector of New England glass comments: What is really unusual about this one is the fact it does not have the 1890 patent date embossed on it. I've seen dozens of CD 267 NEGM's (probably more than anyone else) but not a single one without the date. This is also the rare short skirt variant which is 1/4 shorter than the usual skirt length. The mold line around the skirt is just barely below the embossing. You can see the regular skirt in lot 204! (#0425) |

 | With the exception of a small skirt flake, it's hard to believe this insulator was ever used! There is none of the typical saddle rubbing. A nice piece of history from the Boston subway! (#7742) |
