A beautiful insulator, the smooth bases were the insulators McLaughlin made. I would say the insulator is VNM, has an annealing line in the inner skirt (factory done), 2 tiny flakes off the base, hardly worth mentioning, and tiny little pin pricks around the insulator, you don't see the pin pricks unless you look at it closely. I'm very picky with condition. Asking $80 plus shipping. I can send more pictures if you'd like.
