Here's an unusual one for around here - a green glazed PINCO U-473 with some great provenance on the base. Some collector has taken the time to write the provenance of this one on the firing rest in black permanent marker - "CEDAR FALLS, IA SIL.K. 8-2-76". If only more collectors took the time to do this sort of thing then we might have a much more complete picture of where some things were used. Just the same, this marking could denote a swap meet of some sort and not an original provenance at all? In any case this one is a great green glaze!

This one looks to be nearly mint, with just a couple tiny fleabites in the area where the saddle groove meets the side wire groove. I'd call it NM.

Asking $35 USD plus shipping for this one. I'm always happy to trade for early Canadian glass or Canadian-made porcelain insulators. I accept PayPal, or personal cheque from any member of ICON or any collector with whom I have dealt before. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or for more photos, and look through my other items or unsold sales stock to combine shipping on items.
