Item: 89 Description: M-2450 Unmarked Thomas with Beautiful Mottled Glaze and TWO Blue Jean Seam Lines. According to Elton Gish, the Thomas company, between 1904 and 1912, used denim pant legs in the manufacturing process to prevent the mandrel from sticking to the damp clay. This example has two of those seam lines as shown in View 2. The exterior glaze is quite pretty as shown in View 4, View 5 and View 6. The pictures were taken outdoors on a cloudy day with a white cloth back drop. However, the glaze on this insulator is highly reflective resulting in the glare. Additional note: The Thomas factory used sulfur cement to hold the two halves together. Grade A-Minus: Light wear in the cable groove and some faint surface scratches. Estimate: $200 - $220 Open: $120 Closing price: $120 |
