Default CD 293 Fred M Locke purple power
I have just recently picked up a Fred M Locke in purple that is an unlisted color for the embossing and wanted to share a picture of it with everyone.
Also I was wondering if any have been found in Canada? The embossing index is (010) and the listed colors are Light Blue and Aqua. The ones listed in Light Purple are found in embossing index (020).

Default Re, CD293 Locke purple power color
Hi Craig,

I took that picture with early morning sunlight, I find the color really comes out with some insulators if the sun can pass through them. Here is another picture with reflective light that tends to dull the colors. I got this insulator from Brian Riecker who has a list of insulators posted on ICON for sale. He has some great deals and gives fast service.
