#1212 CD 143 CANADIAN. PACIFIC. RY. CO Streaked amethyst with milk.
This is a peculiar example in numerous ways. For starters, the embossing is somewhat smaller than some examples, and the "C's" are not rounded on the bottom. Rather, they continue from the low point upward and to the right at an angle, unlike a consistent rounded curve.
The glass has varying shades of amethyst within, basically a medium-light shade with somewhat darker swirls throughout. The dome has milky opaque clouds throughout the glass.
Shiny surface with no chips or flakes. Light, bb ding is just under the surface on reverse dome (only 1/4" diameter). The small arc under the "D" is a flake that "didn't happen." In other words, the base edge got slightly bumped, and the glass did not flake out.
The diagonal line that runs from the wire groove to the dome (visible in first and second photos) is a shallow opening on the pinhole surface, similar to that seen on the threading of glass Westinghouse insulators. It has the same appearance of mud that has dried and opened up slightly on the surface. This is an in-the-making characteristic caused when the mandrel was placed in the molten glass, and not damage. A similar shallow crevasse is also present on the reverse. As these narrow crevasses close in the threaded cavity within the dome area, an annealing line continues on the inside surface, further upward (see red arrows in third picture).
