I gathered up my Stebbins' Patent LRIs for this group shot. The patent info can be found here: http://reference.insulators.info/patents/detail/?patent=66054&type=U An earlier photo of Steve Bobb's colorful Stebbins' LRIs can be found here: [id=207429258] The Stebbins' LRIs have been found in use in New England, and examples have been found at the site of the Boston and Sandwich Glass Co. Notice how many of the pieces shown here have olive streaks in the glass. Patented in 1867 by Darius Stebbins of Connecticut. |
