Lot 48: CD 137.5 {Unembossed} [010] Color: Clear Description: The CD 137.5 examples are believed to have entered the hobby by way of the Hemingray dump in the 1960s and 1970s. This experimental insulator has glass that is quite thick for its small stature, and the threads have only a little room to spiral around. The Hemingray Glass company was purchased by Owens-Illinois in 1933, and a variety of styles, treatments, and glass formulas were experimented with during that time period. Examples of this style often have slices on the base, dings, and/or discoloration from their time in the dump. This unit is in outstanding condition for this style and is definitely worth a premium over the typical examples that are found. A great addition for the Hemingray collector! Estimate: $800 - $1,000 Open: $1 Price Realized: $908 |
