Description

#2840      CD 143       MONTREAL TELEGRAPH CO.       Blue aqua.       

Embossed on one mold half.  Tapered-grooved base.

The Montreal Telegraph Company was one of Canada’s earliest communication companies, having been formed in 1847.  These jewels date from the later portion of M.T. Co. existence, likely from the middle 1870's to perhaps the very early 1880's.

Despite not showing in the photo due to the curved contour of the skirt, the medium strength embossing is easily readable.

B-b size peck mark on the reverse dome has a faint, pinkie-nail size halo just under the glass surface.  Remainder of insulator in fabulous condition, including the damage prone base which completely free of any damage!
