Here is completely new discovery to the hobby- a glass insulator embossed 'ARANHA' (in a circle) [front]- which translates "spider" in Portuguese and No.-2 [reverse].. Looks like a cross between a CD 134 WGM Co and a Lynchburg. This rare beast was salvaged from an old building in Brazil prior to demolition. Information on the manufacturer is unknown at this time. Measures 3 1/16 wide by 3 5/8 inches tall. Has no inner skirt (small overpour from too much glass in the mold).

Comes in aqua with some amber streaks in the dome and sharp drippoints. Has pinky nail flake/ding with small crack on the dome, large base chip (with bruise) removing 6 drips, thumbnail wire groove chip and a several small internal cracks. Don't recall seeing any other signal style glass insulators from outside of North America (unless you consider CD 154 a signal). Maybe it will be assigned a new cd number? First email gets this mysterious and rare insulator for only $275 plus shipping. Here's a way to celebrate the New Year! Thanks!
