With all this talk of bugs in insulators lately, I thought I might upload a picture of this gem. Back several years ago, when two tones were hot, and a Hemingray 42 with a nail in it sold for 600 bucks, I lucked into this jewel. It was an H.K. Porter, but was no ordinary one. This one happened to be a two tone in the most spectacular red and white you have ever seen. And the marvel didn't stop there. Not only was it a two tone, but it had an inclusion. And unlike a bug that might vaporize at the first contact with molten glass, this bolt held its own. You've heard of junk in glass. This was never-before-seen junk in plastic! It was put on eBay with the hope that it might top the 600 dollar Hemingray 42, but alas, it only made it to 10 dollars. |
