Hi Everyone,
This is one of my most favorite possesions. Its known as a CD1000 Glass block and dates from the mid to late 1840's. Somewhere between a deep 7-up, emerald, yellow green color. Its actually one of the very first styles of insulators to be used. The slot in the top would have been where the iron wire would have been placed, and a wood cover over that to keep the line from lifting out. This one we dug in SW virginia about 3 years ago. Got another in a light jade aqua color...Early glass, some of my favorite!
Thanks,
