This insulator screams red especially when back lighted. The front side displays very close to mint. Has an open bubble in WG in front. Looks like glass squeezed out between the mold at the base of the skirt just about all the way around. Its very rough and looks like either the maker or a past owner may have chipped away the excess glass. There is only a small patch directly below the L of TELEGRAFOS that looks bruised. The rear side of this piece has seen better days. Starting from top going down it has the following imperfections. The very front of the right side ear is knicked. The lower WG guide has a 1/2" flake underneath about one inch over from left side mold line. On the skirt itself there are three or for BB pings that bruised the surface. A couple of those pings also effected parts of the NA letters in between of the NACIONALES embossing. At the base there are a total of four chips. Two on the inside of the skirt and the remaining two on the outside. The biggest of those outside chips is directly below the AL embossing at its high point and legnth wise it goes from NALE at the base. That chip removed three round drip points. The other outer chip is imediately to the left. It is about the same in lenght but not nearly as deep or wide and didn't effect any drip points. They both look like they may have been caused by whoever chipped away the excess glass that squeezed through the mold. The inside chips I mentioned earlier about three or four more drips. The surface of the insulator is super shinny in some areas and not so shinny in others. Could use a good buffing in the areas that aren't shinny.
