Offered today is a NM Gray WFG Co. toll. This has the usual WFG crudeness, surface-checked threads and surface annealing lines, with the only actual damage above the base being a small lower wire ridge flake on the rear wire ridge. Now, about the base: many of these gray WFG's had lots of extra base glass. Some were able to be removed from the mold intact with the glass extrusion attached. But sometimes, when the insulator was removed, that extrusion stuck to the mold and they needed to use a tool to separate the glass from the mold, or the extrusion was too extreme, and they chipped away the extrusion. That's what appears has happened with this one. Whether these were the first WFG tolls or the last, and the crispness of the new WFG embossing hints at these being manufactured during WFG's start-up after the fire that damaged the R. Good plant, the company still deemed this one as serviceable, and shipped it out. This crude, heavy dude can be yours for $100 shipped, an excellent piece of Denver's glass history from 1899-1900, likely made in October or November 1899. PayPal Friends and Family only, please.
