Item:322771435292ANTIQUE Lightning Rod Amber Yellow Clear Glass Ball EUC. ANTIQUE Original Amber Yellow Glass Lightning Rod BallOpen at both ends. Measures 5 inches high and the opening is 1 inch wide. No cracks, no breaks, the glass opening edges are rough from manufacture, but I wouldn't describe it as being chipped, just rough. It would be covered by the cap. Pictures 11 and 12 are close ups of each opening. In taking the photos, I put a small piece of masking tape as a point of reference and took a picture of each quarter turn. The pictures are taken on a mirrored stand. I then took pictures looking down the hole. Next I flipped the ball over and repeated the process, again using a piece of masking tape as a point of reference. The black rectangle in the reflection is my IPad taking the picture. Great addition to your collection.
Condition:This is in excellent condition for being 100 plus years old. Found wrapped in newspaper in a box in the barn with several other lightning rod balls. No breaks or cracks, the opening edges are rough from manufacture, but I would not describe them as being chipped, just rough ( see pictures 11 & 12).
