My last group of colorful mud got snatched up right away. Must be pretty popular or priced right ??? Anyway, here is another batch. L to R : This little signal is a smooth, buttery olive green with a grey cast to it. Nice crude one with an open crack on the dome that is glazed over ! You can see it in the photo. Neat color and character ! Next is a drippy light blue signal, incused LOCKE / 44 on the skirt. The photo really washes this one out. Has a pretty potent light blue color, especially in the drippy spots. Next is a tiny little eared dude - weird shape and size ! Color is an old type of dark brown, much like teens vintage THOMAS pieces. Color is a little lighter on the ear edges. Cute! Next is a bright robin's egg blue Westinghouse 104. Has an odd half pea sized dot of yellow on the wire ridge. Good color for one of these. Next is a bright red-orange signal. Nicely mottled. Kinda looks like drippy pizza sauce. Next is an ocelot striped signal, looks like THOMAS, but no marking. Striking glaze of black, tan, and silvery gloss ! Next is a VERY drippy blue THOMAS with the name incused on the dome. Next is a grainy light green dry process unit. Drippy looking AND grainy ! Neat color and glaze. Last is a bizarre little pony. Color is a drippy mahogany to almost black. What makes this thing so weird is that the thing looks like it is covered in garlic salt in the heavy drips on one side, and the WHOLE thing on the other ! These saw service on Spokane's fire alarm system, but only a couple were recovered with this weird "salty" glaze. $100 for the lot, plus postage.
