I have too many threadless shards around. These shards have been accumulated by a variety of heritage Canadian diggers and collectors, and I've decided some are better off in the hands of others. In this group I've put together a few different black glass styles: CD 740 (rear left), CD 740.3 (rear right), and CD 734.8 "Baby Battleford" (foreground). The CD 740 shards have saw marks on them from where a collector attempted to saw them to "resinate" them into a complete insulator. The CD 740.3 shards amount to almost a complete dome, but no skirt, and are from two different insulators. The CD 734.8 shards came from the original Ren Settle dig in the 1970s. There are a variety of different shards from a few different insulators here.

Shadow box, garden ornaments, or an attempt at "resinating" an insulator yourself - I hope someone out there can appreciate these fragments of history as they would an intact example of any of these insulators.

I'm asking $25 USD plus shipping for the group. 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.
