Here's a really cool Spanish glass insulator with multiple embossings E.S.A. over ESPERANZA (front) 106 over 106 BIS EIV (reverse). The N in Esperanza is backwards. The secondary embossings are smaller font size and therefore are not ghost embossings but actually reworked molds.

In this case we see evidence Esperanza during its joint venture with Sediver purchased and reworked molds from France. Closely resembles CD 626 from France. First insulator I know of with embossings from two different countries. Color is an attractive Green.

Measures 4 5/8" W x 4 1/2" tall. Teeny base chip and 3 tiny fleabites with no cracks, light scratches on reverse and small cement remains in pinhole.

First email gets this rare bird for only $225 plus shipping. Thanks!
