#3677 CD 113 (Raised dots). Dark purple.
A dark purple color, yet a lighter density than some of the deep purple units, resulting in attractive purple coloration showing through the entire insulator in a back lighted cabinet (a little lighter than photo shows).
Known as the “Braille” due to the resemblance of the raised dots on the skirt looking similar in appearance to Braille. To the best of our knowledge, all were found in western Canada, including eastward into the province of Alberta.
Until a couple years ago, it was generally believed these colorful communication insulators were produced in Canada. Research by collector David Bethman revealed that some were produced at the Anacortes Glass Company in Anacortes, Washington. It is possible some may have been made in the Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada area, prior to Anacortes going into business. This is however, just speculation.
Several drip points are partially flaked, most of which appear fully intact or nearly so. Only one is about 80% removed. Very nice appearance from both sides.
