Item 4
Price realized: $2,000![]() |
Item: 4 Description: CD 162 H G CO (030 – No Periods) Bright Yellow. Forget “Mellow Yellow”, this one is a “Screaming Yellow Zonker”. (Remember that brand of theater popcorn?) This insulator is about a yellow as yellow gets. In near mint condition, these have sold at auction for north of $7,500. This one is Grade B . There are a half-dozen flaked drip points on the front in View 1. View 2 shows a base slice that removes about nine drip points, as well as a shallow flake on the upper wire ridge at the right. In picturing the base, View 3 reveals that the damage really isn’t all that bad. View 4 compares the color of this insulator with Item 2, a yellow amber H.G. beehive. These are extremely rare in this bright of yellow. Don’t pass up this opportunity to own a color almost no one else has. Estimate: $2,000 - $2,500 Open: $1,250 Price realized: $2,000 |
