#3636 CD 133.4 Unmarked. Dark amethyst.
These unembossed “bullets” are typically referred to as being the “Wormser” style. Although an attribution has not been confirmed to the Wormser Glass Company, that glass house is a possible production source of these 1870’s-1880’s insulators.
Most often found in aquamarine tinted glass, these early threaded pieces are also found in a handful of other attractive colors. The majority of the amethyst examples now in collections were found in southwestern Pennsylvania, in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, still on poles. They have also surfaced in the neighboring states of New York, West Virginia and Ohio. Some have been confirmed to have been discovered in the distant states of Utah and South Dakota.
Excellent depth of color and very near mint.
A colorful old bullet from early days of threaded glass.
