The No.2 Transposition has 2 small open bubbles on the exterior and some flaking on the inter-skirt. The Star has a large flat chip and several small chips on the bottom side of the umbrella. (see the third picture). I'm not sure on what to call the colors on the two, so please use the pictures as a guide. The description sounds bad, but both insulators have clear shiny glass and display well. My asking price for the pair is $50.00 +the actual shipping cost.
