#2104 1000 Glass block. Aqua.
A 2018 creek bed discovery in the vicinity of Loess Bluff, Mississippi, this glass block was used on a telegraph line which linked the North with New Orleans, Louisiana in the late 1840's. The line traversed from Pittsburgh, across southern Ohio, to Louisville, Kentucky, Nashville, Tennessee, Tuscumbia, Alabama, then to the Mississippi cities of Jackson and Natchez and eventually to New Orleans. Louisiana. See fourth image showing a map of the lower section of the route. The telegraph route is shown between the cities with dotted lines.
As mentioned previously the insulator was found near Loess Bluff, which is several miles northeast of Natchez, on the Mississippi River. The telegraph line ran through the immediate area where the insulator was found, so it likely travelled little distance into the creek bed.
Sand and sediment traveling over the insulator for a long period of time has left the insulator surface with a "sea glass' appearance. Flakes and chips on the insulator edges now have a sandblasted, frosty appearance (see photos).
A unique example!
