Lot 142: CD 723.3 {Unembossed} [010]  Color: Blue  Description: This is in very nice condition for a "Smooth Wade" insulator! Two 3/8" flakes on the dome, typical roughness on the base. These early threadless insulators were produced around the 1860s and were designed for use with a wooden "shield" to prevent "Indian depredations", as reported in trade journals. Floating bubbles enhance its appeal!
