CD-145.6 - BOSTON BOTTLE WORKS       Sold For: $3,740       Color: Light Blue Aqua
UPDATE: One of these with a chip on the inner skirt that removed "LIED FOR" embossing recently sold for nearly $5,000! On this piece the strongly embossed "BOSTON BOTTLE WORKS - PATENT APPLIED FOR" on the base of the inner skirt is in outstanding condition.

CD-145.6 - BOSTON BOTTLE WORKS       Sold For: $1,155       Color: Bright Blue w/ Snotty Streaks

The Boston Blobtop has four segmented threads and is one of the scarcest of the rare Bostons, predominantly used along railroads in New York. This insulator is especially appealing: bands of amber-highlighted milk are heavily concentrated in the dome, some flowing down into the skirt! The very good condition and the stunning color and character make this insulator truly a winner! (#0532)
