Hello Well after almost 3 years planning and developing this project the first one in done. A beautiful Sapphire Cobalt Blue with bubbles and tiny steel pellets swirled all throughout the glass.

As you can see, the combination came out pretty amazing. They look even better in real life. There were a few problems that will be worked out in future runs. The base embossing on some is not very clear. A modification to the mold should clear that up. There are a few very small cracks on a very few of them that are hard to see, caused by the same part that embossed the base. This should be resolved in the next run which by the way will be Honey Amber full of bubbles with metal pellets in the glass creating some streaks (not sure what color I think green or peacock blue) They look really old and because they are hand made one at a time and the minor problems really make them look more like insulators made in 1870 than 2010. I know you will like them. I will have photos of the second one out to you on Tuesday and They can be ordered then. I may be able to get one more color finished before Springfield, but I'm not sure. You can order one or both if you like with your number, and they will be mailed out ASAP. Price is $50.00 plus $5.00 for postage and delivery confirmation So far these numbers are taken...........1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 13 14 17 20 21 22 23 25 33 35 38 42 46 49 and 50 are gone. Thanks for your interest
