This one turned up recently at an antique store here in S.W. Ontario. Frankly, the AM TEL & TEL 121 is not the most common of insulators around here, so I was pleased to see this more unusual true green coloured example show up. This one has only one period in its embossing - right after the "AM". There are also some amber swirls throughout the glass that add an interesting effect in the right light. As you can see, the colour is somewhat two-toned in places, from amber swirling within the glass. The colour varies from true green to yellow green, depending on the lighting. The dome number on this one is what looks like either a 6, a backwards 9, or several '0's embossed on top of one another. I have no idea where to begin classifying this one by embossing index.

The condition of this one is good, with just two pings, less than 1/8" in diametre each. One is on top of the rear upper wire ridge, and one is right in the wire groove. Short of a few little lehr kisses here and there, this one looks about pristine condition, otherwise. I am calling it VNM. The glass is also shiny as the day it was made... you can tell this one was never buried underground.

I am asking $39.00 U.S. plus shipping for this most unusual AM TEL 121. I accept PayPal, and personal cheques or money orders from any member of ICON, or anyone I've dealt with before. Please feel free to email me for more photos, or with any questions. I encourage you to look through my "For Sale (Not Sold)" stock, and combine items to save on shipping. All the best!
