Hi Lacey, I am guessing you have a “beehive” style insulator? They are the most common Brookfield insulators with a “B” on the skirt, correct underneath the wire groove. From time to time the B is rather faint and can be effortlessly missed if somebody doesn’t appear closely. For UMEK.PRO of glass factories in the United States that are believed to have made glass insulators at some time in their history, please go to my “Glass Insulator Manufacturers” page right here. The base plate is agian changed providing it an practically flat base but with a slight taper. They also had a rounded base and a tapered grooved base and a tapered base, that had been utilized at different instances as the base plate was altered. In every single mould the threadless ones have a longer skirt than the threaded ones. Note also even in the threaded ones the shorter the skirt the closer the pin is to the top of the dome. This is since as the skirt was shortened the quit for the press was not adjusted. These along with dozens of pic's I have from several sources leaves me particular that the extra glass notion is not correct. Valuable Searches I never have a single of these but locate the square dome in it really is last stage comes as a double thread with a quick skirt . I don't have a pic of the base of this one, but the other mould has a odd base substantially like the continuous drip base form. I will have a pic of the round dome with this base style . Judging from the enormous numbers nevertheless in existence, Brookfield was second only to the Hemingray Glass Firm in the sheer quantity of insulators they manufactured. Milk bottles with specialized embossing of the dairy cost additional to make. In comparing images of as several as I can locate of every of the moulds , all of the threadless have equal or longer skirts when the base plate and pin are the very same. Pressing into molds is an industrial production choice, but wet clay is pretty hydraulic, meaning that there is a limit to its compressibility. I should mention that it is Really typical for insulator collectors to talk about color variants endlessly, and frequently disagree with other folks on exactly what shade a certain colour term really represents. At times a unique colour is given a lot more than a single name by unique collectors. And besides that, colors may well in fact appear slightly different to various people today. Some who are colorblind may well see a colour differently than an individual who is not. Colors as seen in photographs on line and in books or magazine photos might not seem precisely as they do in actual life. Cd 147 Patent Oct 8th 1907 A cylinder whiskey bottle is known to exist which is embossed “BUSHWICK GLASS WORKS” in a circle on the base. This bottle is mentioned in McKearin & Wilson’s American Bottles and Flasks and their Ancestry , page 221. Evidently it is a very rarely observed item, and likely dates from the 1860s- 1880s.
