Here's a hard to find CD 154 Asturias (front) Transmisiones (reverse) in Emerald Green Blackglass! Has large dimple in the top of the pinhole. These were used during the Spanish Civil war in 1936-39 to replace damaged insulators in the small region of Asturias. Most were ruined in the war.

The glass used to produce these in wartime conditions was not carefully made. Thus they have annealing cracks and lines on the surface, especially around the drip points (similar to those made by Denver glass insulators).

Base chip removes several drip points, a 1 3/4" skirt clamshell bruise [id=664817681], a tiny bb dome ping and a few tiny tic marks and 2 other drips with slices. This is my last one of these and despite the damage it displays great and has a cool lean to the dome not found in any of the others. First email gets this scarce insulator for only $100 shipped U.S. Thanks!
