Description

#317     CD 136.4      Unmarked.       Dark green with amber.      Fully threaded.

An amazing insulator!  One of the all time greatest insulators Pole Top Discoveries has ever offered in an auction!  We have not seen another example in this fabulous dark green coloration.  Fine amber streaking is present throughout the glass.

Known as the "Canadian Boston," most examples of this circa 1870's to 1880's design are found in shades of aqua.  A handful of impressive yellow green or green-olive units have been verified, and rarely surface for sale.  And then we have this dark beauty in a stunning dark green coloration with amber streaks!

Amazingly, the damage prone jewel remains in superb, very near mint condition!  There's a pencil eraser diameter flat spot on the dome where the glass pressed against something when the glass was hot.  The dark area to the far right in the second image is a fully enclosed bubble inside the glass.  Try to find an aqua example this nice!

Formerly in the Tom Moulton collection.  Ross Baird collection.
