Description

#494      CD 123     E.C&M CO S.F.       Dark aqua with carbon and steam.     "B" mold with 4-5/16" height.

Produced for the Electrical Construction & Maintenance Company of San Francisco, California during the 1870's.

Carbon and steamy opaque impurities stretch from dome to base in the entire front of the insulator and a portion of the reverse.  With back lighting, the impurities appear as dark streaks and bubbles.  With proper bright bottom lighting, the appearance takes on a dramatic transformation!  The streaks then become much more opaque in appearance!

Shallow bruise is just under the surface on the front base (seen as a dark area to the left in first photo).  Remainder of insulator is very near mint+.  Two oblong shapes to the right in photo are fully enclosed bubbles, not damage.
