I've been carting these "specialty collector" pieces around for a little while now and thought I'd try them on here, in the hopes that someone needs them for their "specialty collection".

At left is a light sagey green aqua example of the [070] EIN, with HEMINGRAY over No 40 on the front skirt, and HEMINGRAY again on the rear skirt. This one has lots of snow throughout, and both this attribute and the colour seem to be typical for these. I've found maybe 4 of them here in SW Ontario over the years and they've all been nearly identical in both ways. This one has 3 partly flaked drips, and a fourth that has an angled bruise that cuts across it. It's in better shape than most, in any case. Sale price of $12 USD for this one, plus actual shipping cost.

At right is a somewhat scarce embossing variant that I believe was added to the latest edition of the price guide. This one is the [015] EIN, with HEMINGRAY on the front, No. 40 on the rear, and two different dome numbers on top: a large 7 with a tiny 5 rotated within it. It's a typical Hemingray bluish aqua colour. I've never come across one of these in my 22 years, until last year when this one turned up at a local antique show. I only count 3 partly nicked drips, and one more with an open bubble at its tip. THIS ONE IS SOLD!

I'm asking $12 USD for the one that remains, at left, plus actual shipping costs. I'm always happy to trade for early Canadian glass or Canadian-made porcelain insulators. I have a long-standing want list of Canadian-made porcelain posted, [id=505519866; please click here to see it]. I accept PayPal, or personal cheque from any member of ICON or any collector with whom I have dealt before. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or for more photos, and look through my other items or unsold sales stock to combine shipping on items.
