Purple Canadian Pacific Ry Co insulator on ebay

[RCO]

i don't really pay much attention to insulators but noticed a purple Canadian Pacific insulator was generating some buzz on ebay, a seller who had also posted some bottles had it for sale . its already got 7 bids and around $50 with 6 days left . I assume its more desirable cause its purple . as Canadian pacific was a major railway so I'd assume there is a lot of CP insulators around .

I have a aqua /light blueish Canadian pacific ry co one that I found at a yard sale years ago and been sitting on a shelf since , assume it would clean up more . not sure if its collectable or not ? I bought it at time cause of cp wording on it

I think the canpacs are 143. I don't run into them in New Eng.

its bids have surged to $ 105 dollars plus shipping , it closes in a few minutes so assume it will sell for that amount unless someone attempts a last minute bid

it also had 7 different people place bids on it , surprised there is that many people who collect insulators

Those are some awesome insulators. I am hoping to get a purple one day. Your aqua is neat. Love the style.
