#2116 737.6 Unmarked. On original wood pin. Deep olive amber.
Pilgrim hat threadless discovered in the 1990’s “attic find” in northwestern Pennsylvania. A wooden box was discovered in the attic of a mid 1800’s building, containing a number of 737.6 threadless. Some appeared to have been used, retaining small amounts of rust stain in the wire groove. One can speculate that when an early telegraph line was dismantled in the area, the insulators were gathered and stored in the attic of the building.
Until this amazing discovery took place, the 737.6 was quite rare, with only two or three examples known. Several 737.6 insulator fragments were dug by bottle collectors in the 1980’s and 1990’s at the site of the “Mountain Glass Works” near Saratoga, New York, confirming a manufacturer. The glass company operated in the 1850’s and 1860’s, producing a large volume of bottles. Among the bottles produced at the site were exceptionally large quantities of mineral water bottles, made for the numerous mineral springs in the Saratoga area.
The top portion of the wooden pin, inside the insulator, still retains the plaster type cement and cloth covering. Never been scrubbed... with a fair amount of grime still adhered to to the glass surface.
Shallow surface chip, down from dome corner is only pencil eraser diameter. One fourth of the inner base edge has shallow chipping (barely visible form the outside). A nice looking unit.... and examples with attractive, original pins seldom surface.
Second photo shows a front and back view of the insulator.
From the collection of the late Cecil Boos.
