I am asking $100 for this one plus postage. (PayPal, Zelle, check) have had this one for a long time. The extra-snowy appearance always intrigued me. But what intrigues me more about this one is the embossing. It is the only slug-plate embossed signal I have seen. The photography of the "snow" in insulators is always problematic, and I do not want people to think I am trying to exaggerate the appearance.

I can honestly say this insulator is the biggest snowstorm I have ever owned. However, (to be fair), I photographed him in a few different ways. Lighting and photography for color, milky swirls, and impurities is tough (and I, like most, have been burned by photography in this hobby, so I try to be as fair as possible with photos)

As for condition, as near mint as possible with some roughness of the inside of the base. The glass is so crude and bumpy that it is hard to find the damage. When I first got it I thought it had a scratch on the dome, but I think it is a manufacturing flaw. The inner skirt is underpoured and the mold lines make him sit crooked and rock adding to the intrigue.
