EIN 010 American Insulator Company CD 156 base embossed insulator in a light green color with lots of amber stringers (Color is not quite as my pic may look but it is light green not aqua). This oldie looks like it had a rough life from the get go. In this pic there is only one clue to that being so. If you look at the left side at the base you can see the area where the base must have been placed on something before the glass was fully annealed. The team that made this piece may of had a very difficult time removing from mold. On the left side of the dome from the position I have it displayed are a couple tool marks. Also if you tip the insulator over to look at the base it is shaped more like a football verse the basketball shape it should have. Lastly from this view you will see the most amber stringers. Whih is a good thing being the rest of the insulator isn't in the best condition (see full damage report in next paragraph). Another good thing about this view is you can see the smaller bubbles and a fizz cloud in the dome.

Damage report : I'll call this view the front of insulator being one mold line is to right and the othet to the left. On the front side there is only one flaw. It is located about in center on the flat below wire groove. There I think if you look close enough you can see a small shallow flake. About one inch or more behind the right side mold line at the bottom of dome there is a index finger or less sized flat flake and some nibbling both to the right and left of that flake at the very top of wire groove. The inner skirt on the rear side is very chipped up and jagged. That is just some less then half the inner skirt. You will not see that detail at all if you display the way I have. Lastly, the start of the threads are also pretty buggered up. You will not see that either when displaying.
