Bill & Jill Insulators - Next Auction: Coming Soon |
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. In addition, the low pinhole creates an amazing solid glass hemispherical top. Clearly superior to the one that recently sold. Perhaps our estimate is too low, we'll let the bidders decide! The stunning dome glass immediately attracts your attention as does the nice bubble "floating" in the dome. 1/4" base flake, 1/8" wire ridge flake, otherwise about very near mint. Some typical factory annealing lines Nicknamed the "Knob Top Boston," the insulator has four segmented threads.

CD-145.6 - BOSTON BOTTLE WORKS Sold For: $1,155 Color: Bright Blue w/ Snotty Streaks
| A few little flakes and dings, a thumbnail inner skirt chip removes LIED FOR. 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) |
