CD-285 - {Unembossed} {Edison style} Sold For: $352 Color: Yellow Green
 | A stunning color for this insulator whose trade name was the "Edison". An urban legend in the hobby reports that it got its name because its bulbous dome resembles a light bulb. The smooth contours create a shape that's pleasing to the eye. These were used extensively in the Bangor - Ellsworth area of Maine, and a number of units have been discovered there over the years. Shallow 2" chip on the rear, 1" inner skirt chip on the front. Any Green example is hard to come by, and this is one of the best shades. Let it light up your collection! |

CD-285 - {Unembossed} Sold For: $253 Color: Green Aqua w/ Amber Blending

CD-285 - Edison Sold For: $308 Color: Green Aqua
 | Thin 1/2" flake on the inner skirt, factory "lehr kiss," otherwise at least very near mint. You can see more amber blending in the dome, turning it green, while the rest of the insulator leans a little more towards green aqua. The shades of green are harder to acquire for this style, increasing their desirability. The "Edison" got its nickname because of its bulbous dome. The smooth contours create a shape that's pleasing to the eye. See lot 163 for a bright blue example that contrasts well with this one! (#0411) |

CD-285 - Edison Sold For: $154 Color: Bright Blue
 | 2 1/2" wide area of base flaking in the rear, otherwise very near mint. The "Edison" got its nickname because of its bulbous dome. The smooth contours create a shape that's pleasing to the eye. Adding this to your collection would be a "bright idea" as they are seldom encountered. Couple this with lot 164 for a well-contrasting duo! (#0410) |
