Description

#1179       CD 214       (two)   ARMSTRONG'S   NO 10      Nearly colorless.      Slumped. 

Two slumped insulators from the Bob Moss collection, offered as one lot.  Both appear to have been produced in the same mold, with a date code for 1960.  The example on the left has considerable slumping, and has an attractive squatty appearance.  Although not as noticeable, the right example has settled about 5/8" shorter than a normal size CD 214. 

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.

Both items very, very near mint.
