Very nice, ornate and tough go with for the insulator specialist. Pointed pleat 5" pumpkin LRB in a nice medium purple.A+ shape for such a delicate ball that was very prone to bullets and other forms of damage. Only 1 very small collar chip seen in photo and that's it. Caps will 100% cover this minute blemish. This is about as fine as these come and will decorate your rod or display and be the envy of your peers. I gave this an oxalic bath to remove the 90+ years of black that was inside it from being on a roof and rod. I believe that these were made by Thompson lightning Co as it doesn't have the 1877 patent. First mail to me.... $90 shipped in USA/CANADA, insurance is extra, other countries I will assist with ship costs.
