CD-721 - Baby Canadian Wade Sold For: $1,073 Color: Light Aqua
| Basically factory mint with some annealing lines present. Has a very light haze on it. The "dashes" were designed to provide a better surface for the tar to grip and hold it in its protective wooden cover. Nicknamed the "Baby Canadian Wade," it is 3/4 the size of the CD 723 "Wade", and was produced around the 1860's. It was found predominantly along railroads in Canada. A cute little dude! |

CD-721 - Baby Wade Sold For: $72 Color: Light Aqua
| About one third of the insulator was popped off and has been reglued; there's a shallow 1/4" wide chip on the base. Still, the piece displays very well when turned to its "good side." One of the smallest "Wade" styles but still a toughie! (#0540) |
