CD-737 - {Unembossed} Sold For: $715 Color: Teal Blue
 | There is only one listing in the 2023 Price Guide for an unembossed CD 737, and that is for insulators with the "mold line over the dome" {MLOD} characteristic. This example does not have that attribute! About half of the base is chipped, 1" skirt flake on the front. An attractive color for this uncommon threadless insulator! |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CD-737 - LEFFERTS Sold For: $2,860 Color: Rich Lime Green
 | This is an attractive shade of green for this rare Lefferts "hat"! The CD 737 style is one of the early threadless insulators, perhaps dating to the late 1840's. Marshall Lefferts was a businessman who became involved in the telegraph industry through his sale of wire to telegraph companies. 1" fracture up from the base at the left mold line, a few small flakes and an open bubble on the base, a small amber annealing line below the embossing. A hard-to-find piece, especially without base chipping! |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CD-737 - LEFFERTS Sold For: $374 Color: Blue Aqua
 | Some bubbles throughout the insulator can be easily seen in the glass to the side and above the pinhole. The CD 737 style is one of the early threadless insulators, perhaps dating to the late 1840's. Marshall Lefferts was a businessman who became involved in the telegraph industry through his sale of wire to telegraph companies. 4" skirt repair as can be seen in the photo, 2" scallop bruise on the rear, otherwise, a nice-looking example of this large "hat" style. The insulator has been "clear coated". Add a new CD 737 to your threadless collection! |

CD-737 - {Unembossed} Sold For: $2,640 Color: Dark Teal Blue EIN: [010]
 | The CD 737 style is one of the early threadless insulators, perhaps dating to the late 1840's. This example is interesting, as you can easily see some of the deep Teal Blue color through the skirt. Typical scuffs and flakes actually add to its character. A chunk of iron wire is embedded in the wire groove, adding to the historical and visual interest. One of the larger "hat" styles, this great display piece will stand out on your shelf! |

 | The CD 737 style is one of the early threadless insulators, perhaps dating to the late 1840's. A fracture through the skirt as can be seen in view 1. Some wire ridge, base and skirt flaking. But what do you expect from an insulator of this age? One of the larger "hat" styles that will stand out on your shelf. |

CD-737 - LEFFERTS Sold For: $1,375 Color: Blue Aqua
 | Leaning towards blue. Some base chipping and a bruise as can be seen in the photos. Strong, bold embossing. One of the classic "hats!" |

CD-737 - LEFFERTS Sold For: $1,705 Color: Limey Green
 | What an outstanding color! Most of the green shades surfaced from a construction site in Augusta, Georgia in 2004. Factory annealing line over the dome, 1" base chip, 1" base fracture (see view 2) and a few other flakes/dings. These insulators are some of the early threadless insulators, perhaps dating to the late 1840's. The green shades are the most desirable, and this rather unique shade of green displays well! |

CD-737 - LEFFERTS Sold For: $1,375 Color: Limey Green
 | 1/2" base flake. There is a fracture, which can be seen as that black band in the pictures, that runs from the upper wire groove as shown in view 2, over the top of the pinhole as shown in view 3, and down about 1" on the back side as shown in view 4. This long fracture is about 1/2" deep all around, i.e. it goes from the outside of the insulator to the pinhole. There is also a 1" stress line down from the lower wire groove to the skirt. None of this can be seen from the front. What an outstanding color! Most of the green shades surfaced from a construction site in Augusta, Georgia in 2004. These insulators are some of the early threadless insulators, perhaps dating to the late 1840's. The green shades are the most desirable, and this rather unique shade of green displays very well! |
