#1373 731 S. MC KEE & CO. Blue aqua.
Some McKee threadless insulators were used in eastern states, as well as on the Union Pacific Railroad in Wyoming and Utah.
Samuel McKee, born in 1808, learned glass blowing as a boy. In 1834 he, along with James McKee and James Salisbury, erected a window glass factory. Two years later, Samuel McKee, James McKee and Thomas McKee created the firm of S. McKee & Company. In 1860, Samuel became sole proprietor, remaining in business until his death in 1877. Window glass, large quantities of bottles and other wares were produced by the company. Insulators were only a small portion of articles manufactured.
The glass surface has a cloudy, white appearance from exposure to soil, giving it an attractive "old" look. Two shallow flakes, one 2/3 pinkie nail size and the other perhaps half the width of a pinkie nail, but a little longer.
Strong embossing for a McKee and in quite nice condition in regards to chips, dings etc.
