Here's a neat 'old school' No. 16 with sharp drips, in an odd color of green. Not quite olive, not quite teal. Perhaps a forest green is the best way to describe the color. In the window there are some amber wisps but I wouldn't call them 'strong,' yet they can be seen with the eye readily. The insulators surface has some of that orange peel quality which is associated with a mold that hasn't fully heated up yet. Probably an early morning insulator. It was found in southwest Montana. There is a little match head size flake off the dome, which can be seen in the picture, and a small base bruise affecting a couple drips, off to the side of the No. 16, but no glass missing. Hard to see really. Other than that its fine. Price is $25 and I'll pay the postage in the continental US.
