#3351 CD 123 EC&M CO. S.F. Rich, dark cobalt blue.
"A" mold.
This flared skirt mould variant with rounded dome has been designated as mold type “A.” Flared skirt variants were placed in service during the early years of EC&M production. The Electrical Construction & Maintenance Company was formed in late 1870, and production of the embossed “A” mold EC&M’s likely commenced shortly thereafter. Cobalt blue examples were used in several different locations, most surfacing in California, Nevada and Arizona. A few have been discovered as far north as the state of Washington and British Columbia, Canada.
Perhaps one or more glass houses producing blue soda bottles in the 1870's in the San Francisco Bay area might have used the same glass batches to manufacture insulators. These rich blue beauties can be found in varying intensities and depth of color, this one being an attractive, rich, dark example.
Displays well from the front. Some shallow base flaking. A sizable piece of the skirt was broken away, and was resin repaired many years ago. The excellent, realistic repair has since yellowed somewhat. It extends from the far left end of the front base, then goes diagonally to a point on the rear skirt, and back down to the base. Small white dots (far left in front view, and on the skirt in rear view) show the extent of the resin repair.
A good looking example, available for a small fraction of the cost for a very near mint unit.
