Item: 10  Description: CD 102 Diamond (060) Midnight Blue. Choice insulator from the Grandma Sammis collection (See Welcome Statement). View 4 compares the color of this insulator with Item 11 on the right. I asked seven collectors knowledgeable with Canadian ponies to help me with identify the colors of this pair. In comparing the two, a couple collectors described this one as teal. But others sent comparison pics of their own and this is different than “teal”. Dudley Ellis, the author of the book “Canadian Pony Insulators” described this one as MIDNIGHT BLUE and Item 11 as DARK MIDNIGHT BLUE. The discolored areas on the skirt in View 1 are a metallic smear like from a soft copper or aluminum wire. I believe the smears would clean off.  Grade B-Plus: Base flake and base nibbles visible in View 3; light wire groove wear.
