Up for auction are three beautiful shiny glazed porcelain insulators, including what I call a flying saucer, a roman helmet and a piece manufactured by THOMAS.
The first piece, what I refer to as a flying saucer, is a beautiful shade of molten colors, including what I can best describe as a cascading brown with hints of tans, whites and other colors. This piece is just stunning under light! I could not find any embossing so I do ...not know who manufactured this insulator. The top has a factory chip in one of the cable ears that was glazed over (kind of a cool manufacturing flaw). Otherwise a couple of minor scuffs from being in use and some yellow staining along the base (not sure what it is or if it can be cleaned off).
The second piece is a shiny reddish brown roman helmet. It also has no embossing and a few minor scuffs from being in use.
The third and final piece is a very shiny porcelain manufactured by THOMAS. Beautiful cascading colors on this piece with the THOMAS embossing located within one of the cable ears. Some minor scuffs from being in use and a chip located along the base (see photo 12).
The photos were taken outside in natural light without direct sun light to better judge the actual color. You may see the colors differently than I do. As for mentioning all of the minor flaws, I feel it is only honest to point out all flaws even those that may not seem significant Bids on these three porcelain insulators will start at $1.50 and will ship in a USPS Priority Flat Rate Medium Box with a shipping cost of $14.50 (new postal rate as of 1-27-2019). If you feel that the shipping costs are too high please do not bid. Postal prices are what they are and Priority Mail is the best and fastest way to get a package sent in a fast way. Bidding will only be accepted from those within the United States of America. Thanks for looking, Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!
