Description

#497      CD 151      H.G. CO.       PETTICOAT.       Depression green.    

Excellent glass clarity and unusual coloration make these old Hemingray products popular with collectors.  Some were found on the “Rock Island” railroad right of way in Iowa many years ago.  Seldom seen for sale in recent years.

The base and lower wire ridge remain in excellent condition.  Front view photo shows the entire upper wire ridge very clean with the exception of some flaking at the extreme left edge.  That same flaking can also be seen in the second photo, to the right of center.  Two other shallow, match head flakes can be seen on the upper wire ridge, directly above the "C" and "A" in the word "Petticoat."  Pretty nice condition for this damage prone insulator with numerous sharp edges. 

Dick Bowman collection.
