Confederate egg Nice Confederate Egg Insulator Dug in Richmond Virginia. Green glass. As with most of these unthreaded and dug Rebel insulators, there are nicks, dings, and chips. You will see several from the photos. Notwithstanding those minor infractions, this is a very good example of Confederate manufacturing and your opportunity to own a very rare dug relic. This one was found several years ago in the "great haul" in downtown Richmond, Virginia.
This is the last of these that I have.
