Description

#1178-1       CD 203       KERR  T.W.      Colorless.      Slumped. 

#1178-2       CD 203       ARMSTRONG   T.W.       Icy tint.      Slumped. 

Two slumped insulators from the Bob Moss collection, offered as one lot.  The Kerr example is slumped about 1/8" to 3/16" and tilts a bit, to the left in the photo.  The Armstrong example is slumped quite a lot, and has an attractive lean and compressed appearance.

Bob, who has resided in Millville, New Jersey for many years, collected insulators for decades, and amassed a sizable grouping of solid pours, deformed and slumped insulators produced at the glass factory operated in Millville by Whitall Tatum, Armstrong and Kerr. 

Bob dug many of the oddball examples in his collection from a dumpsite on the factory property, as well as obtaining items carried home many decades ago by former workers at the plant.

Whitall Tatum example is very, very near mint.  Armstrong example has an internal fracture which traverses just a little over half way around the insulator (the right insulator in photo - see far left side of the skirt)
