Bought a small 12 piece collection the other day and this piece was the life of the party. The piece on the right is a beautiful red-orange color that is a stunner in the sunlight. Not much damage - few chipped drips, open bubble drips, and a small base chip. There is some interesting extra glass between a few of the drip points, I hadn't seen that before but it stands out. What's weird is it shares an odd defect with the orange piece from my collection. Both have 7 bumps on the crown above the H.G.Co. I was comparing colors when I realized they had the same bumps - same size, same locations. Obviously from the same mold. Hard to photograph but you can see a couple of them on the insulators - use "view original" to help with that. The bumps are not in a straight line but are scattered across the front crown. Anybody else run across this on your H.G.Co.'s.
