Description

#1778     CD 196       NO 51    H.G. CO.       PAT MAY 2 1893.       Medium-dark teal aqua.

Large impressive "umbrella" design.  A single piece transposition insulator produced by the Hemingray Glass Company.

Examples with the additional "No 51" marking are scarcer and more desirable to collectors than those lacking the extra lettering.

Especially attractive color, having teal tones which gives the glass extra brightness and vibrancy.  Appealing creases on the dome spiral in a whirlpool pattern, adding desirable character.

Much, much nicer condition than is typically found!  Initially we thought this jewel was flawless.  However, there are two drip points on the base that are flaked.  One is 1/3 complete and the other 1/2 complete.  A previous owner has filled the gaps with casting resin. Even with these two very minor flaws, the insulator remains in spectacular condition. 

Finding a "No 51" in this wonderful condition is exceptionally difficult!
