This is a relist of a G.N.W.TEL.CO. beehive I listed a few days ago. I don't believe my photo represented the true color of the insulator. The condition of the piece is very good. There is a small wire rub in the wire groove and one tiny dome ping. I might mention that there are two small open bubbles on the base. In no way do they distract from the insulator. As you can see in the photo, although a nice deep purple, this is not a royal purple piece. many collectors prefer this shade of purple over the royal purple, for display reasons. $70 post paid to your door. There might be a slight surcharge for shipping to Canada.
