#949 CD 130 CAL. ELEC. WORKS PATENT Bright aqua.
A super tall example, with mold line over dome, measuring five inches in height!
If not a record height for a CD 130, it certainly has to be close! This towering giant, the “shortie” offered as Lot #950, and a sizable quantity of other CD 130 were gathered many decades ago along the route of an early communication line. The story goes that a lady simply walked along from span to span, picking up over three dozen examples! Although we have not been able to confirm the exact route of the line, it was in the general area of Bodie/Lundy/Bridgeport, all in east central California. The lady kept the insulators for decades, finally selling them to a collector a few years ago, who in turn sold all but these two unique examples.
Flat thumbnail chip on upper wire ridge. Flat fingernail chip on lower wire ridge. Loaded with numerous bubbles for added character.
Worth a premium for the super tall stature!
