CD-1000 - {Unembossed} Sold For: $209 Color: Light Aqua w/ Amber Loop-de-Loop
 | Wow, what an amazing loop-de-loop swirl in the base of this block! You rarely see any impurities in this style. A little rough around the edges and half of one side is missing. Displays great and quite an eye-catcher! Imagine what the value would be without the damage! |

 | UPDATE: This glass block was found at the Stevenson, Alabama railroad depot in 1990 as can be seen. The broken pieces were put together by Lynda Katonak. Stevenson is located in far NE Alabama between Huntsville and Chattanooga TN. The Stevenson Railroad Depot and Hotel are a historic train station and hotel in Stevenson, Alabama. They were built circa 1872 as a joint project of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad and the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, whose lines converged in Stevenson. When the Memphis & Charleston was purchased by the Southern Railway in 1898, the Louisville and Nashville Railroad (who had taken over the N&C in 1880) took sole control of the depot and operated it until 1976. It was converted into a history museum in 1982. Both buildings are brick with gable roofs and Italianate details. The depot has a central, second-story tower that was added in 1887. The three-story hotel had a lobby, dining room, and kitchen on the first floor and eight large gues |

CD-1000 - {Unembossed} Sold For: $715 Color: Light Aqua
 | This amazing "creek tumbled" glass block has a rough texture from tumbling over 12 miles in a sandy creek or having sand in the water flow over it and roughen it for perhaps 100 years or more! View 4 shows where it was found. Some of the typical flakes, but they also have the rough texture indicating they were tumbled as well for many decades. Some flakes have more texture than others, possibly some flaking occurred during its trip down the creek and those flakes have since been tumbled as well but not for as long and thus being less pronounced. There was significant interest and discussion of a "sea glass" tumbled CD 735 Tillotson at the 2019 National. Imagine the exciting discussion this would cause! This could be the only "creek tumbled" glass block known! An incredible historical artifact! Estimate: $500 - $1,000 Open: $10The consignor writes: I found it on November 21, 2018 at Loess Bluff, Mississippi in a creek near the Natchez Trace P |

CD-1000 - Glass block Sold For: $798 Color: Light Blue Aqua
 | Crude with a 3/4" base chip and other typical flaking here and there. Some might call this insulator blue, but we'll be conservative. Writing on the insulator reports that it was found on June 28, 2004 in Millboro, VA. It is unusual that the through-hole is oval rather than round. A nice, old piece of telegraph history with an interesting provenance! |
