This used to be a Fidenza 6315 in purple glass. It arrived as a box full of broken pieces. The bottom two pieces are intact, does anybody have an extra 6315 top section available?

"Colonel Murphy" asks, why does this never seem to happen with cheap and common insulators, only the nice ones....

This has been very professionally resolved with the seller., who was 110% cooperative!

Update, Oct 3, 2007:

I removed the top section a while ago, and just recently noticed that the top of the "dome" of the middle skirt is clearly embossed with 6315 / 2 The two lower sections are in VVNM "perfect" condition, no visible chips or cracks, just a few air bubbles and a bit of "flotsam" inside the glass. I haven't botheref to attempt to separate these two lower sections, as someday thay might get re-married to a nice top section.

That answers a question that i never got around to asking: are these pieces used on other FIdenza insulators? Apparently the answer is that they are not, they are unique to the 6315.
