ITEM No.: 45 CD No.: 162 EMBOSSING: (f) L [in circle] Lynchburg (b) No 36 Made in USA COLOR: Sage green with fire brick. CONDITION: Two rather minor match head ridge pings and a couple chipped drips. SUMMARY: Lynchburg was generally known for fairly decent quality control, so contaminants of any notable size are very rarely found in their glass insulators. This signal contains a colossal chunk of fire brick that evidently entered the glass batch from a kiln brick blowout (see View 2). It somehow made it through the inspection and annealing process, plus years of service, to finally rest in the hands of collectors. A real unique oddity for the collector of contaminants and this is certainly a trophy piece for the Lynchburg specialist.
ESTIMATED VALUE: $300 - $500 OPENING BID: $170
