THis once was (and still is) a CD 701.6 "Confederate Egg" insulator. Purportedly melted in a warehouse fire in Richmond VA, during the Civil War, sometime between 1861 and 1865.

Got this one from Doug MacGillvary at the Keene NH Bottle SHow.

I'd call it VVNM, as in Very, Very, Nearly Melted...

Hmmmm, I wonder if this the same fried egg shown in this posting: [id=189861384]

Another "unfried" egg can be seen here [id=274370962]

And it could also serve very, nicely as a candle-holder, from this view [id=274371070]
