Description

#3322        731        TILLOTSON.         Teal aqua.    

Still retains a portion of the original wood pin, cloth and cement in the pinhole.  Found in a Connecticut barn.

Examples of this type insulator, in numerous colors, have been found at various locations.  Of those found, a fair percentage were discovered in New England, mostly in Maine. 

Produced circa middle 1860's to early 1870's for Tillotson, who was operating as "L.G. Tillotson & Company" at the time these "compromise" style threadless insulators were manufactured.  The concave skirt design was developed in the middle 1860's, and was produced in numerous mold variants ranging from the 729 through 732.4 series.

First photo is a bit dark.  Second (back lighted photo) is more accurate to actual color depth.

Front is very near mint.  Scuff on reverse dome.  Flat base chip on reverse traverses half the base distance (see second image).

A scarce color variant with nice teal toning.  Well defined embossing!
