CD 155 Kerr, cobalt splotch, #84

ITEM No.: 84  CD No.: 155  EMBOSSING: (f) Kerr DPI (b) Made in USA 36 72  COLOR: Clear with cobalt splotch.  CONDITION: Mint.  SUMMARY: Produced in 1972 for collectors from an actual Kerr mold at the Kerr Glass factory. The original intention was to produce a solid blue insulator, but the agitator in the tank was unintentionally left off, preventing the cobalt coloring from blending properly. That resulted in a series of insulators with mild to wild cobalt blue splotching. This is one of the few wilder ones with a heavier than usual deep cobalt blue splotch flowing down one side. Most collectors feel this production error created a much more exciting end result, which is clearly signified by their steady increase in value.
ESTIMATED VALUE: $750 - $1,000  OPENING BID: $500
