Description

#1395       CD 121       AM. TEL & TEL CO      1        Gray-amethyst tint.

Very light, gray-amethyst tint is a scarce color variant for "Am Tel" tolls.

Amethyst tolls marked for the American Telephone & Telegraph Company were produced by various glass manufacturers.  This heavy, bulkier style mold variant is much scarcer than the thinner, more refined mold variant. 

Collectors have speculated whether these were made by the Baltimore Glass Manufacturing Company, or if they might have been made by Brookfield.

Bubble in lower skirt is fully enclosed - remains undamaged.

Pinkie nail chip on reverse, lower wire ridge.  Remainder of insulator is sparkling, very, very near mint.
