Insulator - 11/18/2005 6:17:32 PM    wvbottlehead Posts: 220 Joined: 7/4/2003 From: WV Status: offline It wasn't broken and I didn't find anything else so I carried this big ugly thing outta the woods today. It's 11 inches across & weighs 11lbs. I don't much collect insulators but I thought it'd be a conversation piece (actually it's kinda growin on me a little). Don't expect it's worth much but maybe somebody can tell me more about an ID? Thanks, Frank Attachment (1) < Message edited by wvbottlehead -- 11/18/2005 6:27:31 PM > Post #: 1

Does anyone else see faces on the side of that thing... it may be haunted. < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 11/18/2005 8:10:52 PM > _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to wvbottlehead) Post #: 2

RE: Insulator - 11/19/2005 12:00:00 PM    wvbottlehead Posts: 220 Joined: 7/4/2003 From: WV Status: offline Thanks Ronvae - I checked that site and a couple others, I did email a fellow on one of them . There is no maker marks that I can find, it looks like it could be an Ohio Brass, but I think theirs are usually marked. Anyway it's 6.75 inches tall. If I put it on my table we wouldn't have room for the turkey (thats glare on the front rim) Attachment (1) < Message edited by wvbottlehead -- 11/19/2005 2:05:21 PM > (in reply to wvbottlehead) Post #: 6
