Green glass lens??

[MRBeyer]

Angled base. Rounded base area. Torpedo shaped. No threading internal or external. Looks to have an area for a spring clip retainer to hold in place. Is too light a green for navigation lights. Possibly bicycle light lens?? 2.25 base. 2.25-3 in height

Unable to find anything. Help would be appreciated.

I would have thought paperweight if the notch was deep enough to hold something. Been inclined all along towards the bail “notch”.

Ya know, it could be a cap for some sort of decanter or carboy, just missing a rubber or cork seal inside.

Looks a lot like the lights (lens) that you see on top of a semi....seen a lot of Kenworths with different color warning lights.

I posted your pictures on an insulator info site, didn’t get a positive ID yet but the consensus is that it screams French glass. I also learned that many foreign insulators were pressed without threads and the threaded piece was made of a composite material that was inserted hot and then cooled, most collectors dissolve it out with muratic acid. Also the angled base skirt indicates that it would go on an angled side pin and would facilitate rain water run off.

Sorry about the delay in responding. The person I bought it from had no clue as to its origins either. Still haven’t nailed it down yet. Thanks for the ideas. I’ll keep looking.

Sorry to dig up an old thread. I recently was given blue ones! Look identical... but cobalt blue. Any new ideas on the origins?
