Item: 43 Description: CD 102 California (010) Blue with Over an Inch of Solid Dome Glass. Note also the bubbles in View 1. Pony-size telephone insulators with the CALIFORNIA name spelled out in full were only found in a couple locations. One place was on side pegs under the signal lines of the Southern Pacific Railroad south of Goshen, Oregon. There was single one of these per pole along that section of railroad for about four miles. My estimate is that around 150 of these were found there. That’s the most I know of from any one area. Grade A-Minus for an upper wire ridge ping visible to the right in View 1. With the dome glass, the bubbles, the color and the condition, this ranks among the most desirable examples known. Estimate: $100 - $120 Open: $75 Closing price: $250 |
