Description

#2113       740       Unmarked.       Orange amber.

More transparent than most examples, passing light through the skirt while setting in a back lighted cabinet.  Passes light throughout when viewed through one thickness of glass.   This "see through" characteristic is seldom encountered in the 740 style insulator.   Orange amber coloration is also much scarcer than the various green shades.

Short, stocky mold variant with a very crude, textured surface in the wire groove.

The 740 design was produced in the 1850’s and 1860’s by at least five or six different glass houses, perhaps more. Several mold variations are known, with production taking place in both Canada and the US. The 740 has been found throughout eastern Canada and across the eastern US. They have surfaced to a lesser degree in the Midwestern US, and all the way to the deep south.

Some shallow flakes on the outer edge of the base, but overall, a very nice looking example.

Great color!!!

From the collection of the late Cecil Boos.
