ITEM No.: 49  U No.: 395  EMBOSSING: none  COLOR: Mottled brown.  CONDITION: Appears factory mint.  SUMMARY: The scarcer porcelain version of the more predominantly found glass ‘Mickey Mouse’ style cable top insulators. The brown glazes can be found in varying shades, from dark to light, some with glaze mottling patterns. This example exhibits some moderate mottling and was made quite crudely. The base has some sloppy trimming that was partially glazed over, but adds the character that most collectors desire. If you like them lumpy, bumpy and crude, this one is for you! (From the Sandra Drummond collection.)
