#014 731 TILLOTSON. Teal-sapphire blue.
Similar to sapphire blue, but with a stronger teal tone. Produced circa middle 1860's to early 1870's for Tillotson, who was operating as "L.G. Tillotson & Company" at the time these "compromise" style threadless insulators were manufactured. The concave skirt design was developed in the middle 1860's, and was produced in numerous mold variants ranging from the 729 through 732.4 series.
The 731 Tillotson was produced in a wide variety of colors, making them quite popular with collectors, several of whom are building attractive "color runs." Pole Top Discoveries has been fortunate during the past two or three years to have received consignments from the two largest holdings of these colorful beauties. The majority of exotic colors have been offered through our recent auctions. Anyone who desires to add some colorful examples to their collections should act now before the supply is exhausted.
Entire embossing is well defined. Bruise on the left side dome initially appears to be pinkie nail size (see 2nd image). Upon closer inspection a larger rainbow halo can be seen within the glass interior. With a front view, it appears as a dark shadow at upper left (first photo).
Great color and displays well with no chips.
Dick Bowman collection.
