Look at this incredible cobalt blue example of a National Ribbed Grape Lightning Rod Ball! Incoming this AM from Ron and Ann Krupa. Thanks!
Hi:
I noticed in your lightning ball grape grouping (there was) no reference to the cobalt (example). Thought I would tantalize your senses. 18 grapes on the center row, 5 1/2″ long by 4 1/2″ wide with old copper cap remnant.

I hate to be a “wet blanket”, but the original ribbed grape LRB was not made in COBALT. This may be one of the later FENTON creations. Still, a very attractive ball in this color!
