Here's one tough coloured GTP TEL CO beehive. This is a very nice delft blue colour which doesn't show up very often. When was the last time you saw one? This one has all kinds of lower end troubles from excess glass bulging out, messing up the pinhole and severely distorting the inner skirt. Really hard to describe this one, but the inner skirt warped and buckled into the outer skirt on one side as if it were pushed down with the mandrel, opposite side of the sagged in inner skirt, there's a huge bulge of glass forced out forcing the inner skirt out and away from the outer skirt directly behind the embossing. Very cool and something that needs to be seen in person to really appreciate. Only issues are as follows:2 day 1 open bubbles on the edge of the base that caused a little flaking on the resting edge of the base, flakes are small and very thin. There's a couple pin pricks and on the domeside there is a very thin "kiss" mark where it touched another insulator while hot. Has a bit of wire rub in the base of the WG trough from use. Displays excellent and will make a very unique addition. More pix on req. Photo taken in direct 3 PM sunlight for accurate colour. $60 shipped in USA/CANADA, other countries I will assist with ship costs. Your satisfaction is completely assured with this insulator. How bout we go $40 + actual shipping? |
