CD-133.1 - PAT APP FOR Sold For: $550 Color: Translucent Jade Blue Milk EIN: [015]
| This eye-catching coloration passes enough light so that you can easily see the color, while being dark enough to clearly see that it's translucent. 1/4" open bubble on the base and a few annealing lines over the dome, otherwise very near mint. We sold a darker jade example several years ago for over $2,500. A great example of this early threaded style! |

CD-133.1 - ELECTRICAL SUPPLY CO. Sold For: $275 Color: Limey Green

CD-133.1 - PATENT - DEC. 19 Sold For: $121 Color: Clear
| 1/4" wire ridge flake and 1" wire ridge rub, otherwise very, very near mint. While not as clear as a PYREX, this is about as clear as these old pieces get! |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
CD-133.1 - PAT.APP.FOR. Sold For: $132 Color: Bright "Electric" Brooke's Blue
| 1/2" base flake, otherwise very, very near mint. What a stunning color, which can be seen even more vividly in the dome. The embossing appears to refer to Homer Brooke's patent of 1883. A "glower" that will stand out on your shelf! |

CD-133.1 - ELECTRICAL SUPPLY CO Sold For: $143 Color: Dark Lime Green w/ Milk
| Very good condition. Boldly embossed "THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY CO / CHICAGO". The Chicago-based Electrical Supply Company sold these insulators, and this piece is a great example! The color is terrific, and the milk swirls around the pinhole make it quite an attractive addition to your collection. |

CD-133.1 - TEL. FED. MEX. Sold For: $55 Color: Light Aqua
| {MLOD} Embossed on the rear with "SAMUEL HNOS / NEW YORK." 1/2" base flake on the rear removes the "N", otherwise very near mint. One of three "signal" styles embossed with "TEL. FED. MEX." which stands for Telegrafos Federales Mexicanos. |

CD-133.1 - PAT APP FOR // 3 Sold For: $528 Color: Translucent Aqua
| Factory 1/2" potstone bruise at right mold line, several dings around the crown, otherwise very near mint. This piece was found in a barn together with its cousin, which sold for $2,750 in Auction 149 (lot 60). This example is more translucent and less of a solid jade than its cousin. We'll be conservative with the estimate and let you decide. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
CD-133.1 - PAT. APP. FOR // 3. Sold For: $2,750 Color: Translucent Jade Aqua Milk
| A stress line the width of the skirt, from the wire ridge to the skirt in the front as can be seen in view 3, otherwise very, very near mint. Offered with the original tie wire, which can be easily removed if the winner prefers. We have never seen anything like this piece! Perhaps a one of a kind? The color is amazing. While it has a strong jade appearance when front lit, it is still translucent enough to transmit light well when back lit as seem in view 2. Some dark impurities in the rear skirt add even more character. Could this be a once in a lifetime chance to own an insulator like this? |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
CD-133.1 - PATENT DEC. 19 Sold For: $110 Color: Purple Tint
| Excellent condition! The purple is more visible in the crown and dome where the glass is a little thicker, giving it a bit of a two tone appearance. Very similar to and a great companion for the CD 134 in lot 92! (#2845) |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
CD-133.1 - BROOKE'S Sold For: $176 Color: Jadey Brooke's Blue
| A fissure in the pinhole, most likely from annealing, and a few base flakes. Some impurities in the glass give it a bit of translucence, adding to the uniqueness of this early classic "Brooke's Blue" threaded piece!! (#2818) |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

CD-133.1 - PATENT DEC. 19 Sold For: $176 Color: Snowy Light Green
| Small wire ridge flake and small skirt flake that are hard to see in the snow. It's quite unusual to see such uniform and consistent snow scattered throughout the glass; it's a real snow globe! Our estimate may be low, but you can decide! (#0440) |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
CD-133.1 - ELECTRICAL SUPPLY CO. Sold For: $165 Color: Yellow Green
| Basically VVNM. The Chicago-based Electrical Supply Company sold these insulators. The latest insulator price guide shows that the embossing appears on both CD 133.1 and CD 134, but one of their catalogs shows a few other styles; were these items ever produced? In any case, this is a great example! (#0173) |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
CD-133.1 - ELECTRICAL SUPPLY CO. Green Sold For: $242 Color: Green
| A small chip and scratch on the base; bright and shiny! The Electrical Supply Co. provided a full line of hardware and insulators for line construction in the late 1880s. (#2821) |
