| Nicknamed the "Baby Corkscrew" because of the spiraling ridges above the wire ridge. Three 1/4" chips/flakes on the wire ridge and spiral, otherwise about very near mint. This is the variant without "segmented threads." For other National styles, see the CD 104 in lot 16 and the CD 110.6 "Large Corkscrew" in lot 5.

CD-110.5 - NEW ENG.TEL.& TEL.CO. Sold For: $688 Color: Light Aqua EIN: [010]
| This is the rare arc-embossed "NEW ENG.TEL & TEL CO." variant. The embossing is in a tight arc, making it easily readable in its entirety from the front. The piece has the expected "NAT.INSULATOR CO." with the three patent dates on the base. The corkscrew is in very good condition with damage limited to a 3/4" area of flaking at the top. Two 1/4" lower wire ridge chips and a 1/4" base flake. Not really all that bad for this style. For completeness, a small open bubble on the base removes the "T" in "INSULATOR". A great example! |

CD-110.5 - NEW ENG. TEL. & TEL. CO. (Base) NAT. INSUL. CO. Sold For: $418 Color: Light Green
| A 3/8" flake at the top of the threads, otherwise at least very near mint. This is the much scarcer embossing style with "NEW ENG TEL.& TEL.CO." on the skirt and "NAT.INSUL.CO.+ / PAT.MAY 1. DEC.25.1883. JAN.1. OCT.7.1884" on the base. Some of the skirt embossing is hard to read. Compare this "regular" corkscrew with its big brother in lot 50. The Light Green coloration and the unusual embossing make this insulator quite uncommon and desirable! |

| Two 1/4" base flakes affect the bottom of a couple of letters, and a 3/8" base flake removes most of "PAT".

CD-110.5 - NEW ENG.TEL.& TEL.CO. Sold For: $209 Color: Light Aqua
| {Segmented threads} Flake and a number of pings and dings on the upper wire ridge. The spiral itself is in great shape. The first line of the embossing is a little weak, but you can see it's the "straight line" embossing, which is harder to find! There is some light haze and minor etching, indicating the insulator was probably dug. The oval spot on the spiral is a closed bubble with white debris in it. Own a bit of New England history! (#1157) |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
CD-110.5 - NATIONAL {Segmented threads} Light Green Sold For: $506 Color: Light Green
| A chip on the upper spiral; otherwise VNM. The glass flowed on the front skirt, pushing some of the embossing up to form an arc. That part of the embossing is a little weak, but it makes it a little unique. This is both a desirable Light Green color and has the straight line NEW ENG.TEL.& TEL.CO. embossing which is the rarest of all the CD 110.5 variants. See lot 25 and lot 28 for additional variations! (#1158) |
