To hot to play outside today so. . . inside playing with insulators. Dug up these two Maydwell milkglass insulators. What strikes me is the difference between the two. The one on the left is the [010] variant. This one does not have a small number below U.S.A. on the reverse. The one on the right has a small 4 below U.S.A. and is the usual green tint so is a [020]. What is odd is the one on the left. It is milkglass but the texture is heavier and not opaque. It has round drip points but they are widely spaced not close together like the [020]. Don't have a scale but would swear that the [010] is heavier than the [020].

Musings from a idle mind. . . .
