A very attractive color!

The Western Electric Company was an electrical supply house which offered various equipment and apparatus used in the construction and maintenance of communication lines.  The company had its beginning in Cleveland Ohio, and in 1872 it was incorporated and moved to Chicago, Illinois.  Western Electric had a close relationship with the Western Union Telegraph Company, and in In 1875, one of the partners in the company sold their interest to Western Union.

Typically found in aquamarine colored glass, the teal units are scarcer.

Very near mint with minor surface marks.
