Item: 4 Description: CD 164 No Name (020) Royal Purple w/ Faint Milky Swirls. Embossed only with the word PETTICOAT, these insulators were long thought to have been made in Canada. The question was, by who? Then in 2018, David Bethman found a 1913 newspaper article showing glassware produced by the Anacortes (Washington) Glass Company which includes not only bottles but CD 164 and CD 113 insulators. Our consignor says this example was found in New Westminster, British Columbia. While it may appear that the drip points are flaked; they are not. Instead, they are tilted inward almost 90-degrees. The insulator shows evidence of a lehr kiss, including shallow marks & annealing lines above and below the embossing. The flattened drip points and other marks are likely the result of the insulator coming into contact with others on the cooling rack. View 3 shows the base. The insulator has some slight surface staining and a small wire ridge nick. Grade B-Plus . Estimate: $900 - $1,000 Open: $450 Price realized: $1,350 |
