Bill & Jill Insulators - Next Auction: Coming Soon |
CD-292.5 - KNOWLES Sold For: $440 Color: Blue EIN: [027]
| The glass is transparent on most of these examples, but this one has some snow and fizz, giving it more of an unusual translucent appearance. Annealing stress line from the wire ridge to the skirt at the left mold line. Base scuffing consistent with use as a door stop, as well as a little on the flat top of the ears. Two 1/4" base flakes and 1/8" ear flake are about all to point out on this huge chunk of glass. If you want an insulator embossed "BOSTON" or if you are a power collector, this massive "triple petticoat" is for you! |

CD-292.5 - KNOWLES Sold For: $396 Color: Blue
| Unlisted embossing which is close to [060] but with interesting 3/4" x 1" ovals behind the "prism" on the front, and above "BOSTON" on the rear. One can see some amber swirls in the ears. 1" middle skirt chip, 1/4" ear flake, otherwise easily very near mint. Embossed with the patent date of June 17, 1890 for "dove-tail ears on crown". A nice massive "triple petticoat" power piece. |

CD-292.5 - KNOWLES 6 Blue Sold For: $220 Color: Blue
| Chipping under the ears, large kiss, otherwise about VNM. Some bubbles floating in the upper skirt add some character to this big guy! (#7898) |
