    *Threadless insulators have a tapered pinhole that is wider at the bottom than at the top. This one is about 1/8 wider on the inside at the bottom than at the top.
    **Believed to be about 1850's and Possibly Made In Canada on what I've found.
    Black Glass is a Green Glass such a deep green you cannot see the color green and most of the companies stopped making Black Glass about 1880.
    This was done in a 3 piece Mold as can be seen in the photo up above which dates from 1870 and earlier.

    Like to know whom made this? I believe I've already found it....
