I called a few shops to see about whether or when they would open, and one of the guys I've done a lot of business with tells me he's only doing "curbside" transactions, and then he says he's been holding an insulator for the past month for me to have first looks at before posting to eBay. (What a great guy!) So of course I jumped in my car and drove right down. He had this crooked dome CD 731 EIN [020] [No embossing] {MLOD} SB in Dark Orange Amber that looks like Dark Honey Amber in bright sunlight. Both of those colors are unlisted for this EIN. They are listed under EIN [010], however, but that listing does not have MLOD as this piece clearly has. (He didn't have to post it to eBay.) 8^D

I also snagged three different white/cream spools. The one at left has incuse marking that is only partially legible: I believe I can make out MADE IN ENGLAND and a date (?) that begins with 19; there might also be a crown in there. The middle spool is incuse with the stylized ITC in a circle logo, and the spool on the right is unmarked, although there is a raised lip on top around the pinhole that seems unusual.

The dry process U-15 is not threadless, of course, but the glaze is kinda whacky with spotty, uneven light brown over the dome and skirt, dark brown around the edges of the wire groove and base, and bright blue smudges on top of the dark brown areas.

The mud will be offered for sale after I clean it up. The threadless is going into my display collection. Sorry, Dario.
