Here is one you don't see every day, only a handful of them known...this is most likely one of the best/most prominent Amber streaks. Uncommon in HEMINGRAY glass due to their high quality glass regulations

![CD 162 [240] Hemingray Patent May 2 1893 cobalt blue glass insulator, sharp drip](https://i.ebayimg.com/thumbs/images/g/n48AAOSw7OFmGRrU/s-l225.jpg)
Uncommon like this, but amber isn't rarely seen in them.
Beautiful piece.
Yea Amber is found in many of them...especially in manufacturers like Brookfield...but yes like this, very uncommon. What's interesting about the other ones known like this is that the Amber streak is found in nearly the same spot
Could it have been from the angle the mold was at in pouring?
I like Brookfield as they have more errors with the embossing sliding all over.
Such as the incredible error on the one at right in this link:

I get offers on it occasionally and turn them down because, frankly, the error is just too perfect to be seen often. And I got it for only like $3. LOL
Not sure how it happened...they all had to have been from the same run I'm sure tho. Very nice brookfields you have. Amber and character in the HEMINGRAY/HGCO pieces is tough to come by, that's why I like them :)
The other two are Hermingray. The center green one is full of light amber darkening it to more of olive but clearly displaying swirling.
Outside I have a few white- and amber-swirled Hemingrays.
I myself am into porcelain more, but most collectors like glass. I love 'em all, of course. LOL.
Keep showing us what you have.
