I suspect that Sterling made some of the Manhattan insulators... this one is nice relatively clean glass, very blue aqua, and has a characteristic "dimple" up in the pinhole that is often seen in Sterling insulators. This picture shows it (hopefully). I think it is due to the insulator being picked up with a metal rod or tool while still hot, leaving the dimple impression off-center in the dome (about 1/4 inch deep).
