Insulator Folks - what do you make of this one - 6/20/2007 7:01:06 PM    Yooper14 Posts: 313 Joined: 4/25/2005 From: Ohio Status: offline This is a great one...it's in such pristine condition for coming out of a dump!  It's a CD 113 I think, although I'm not the best at IDing the insulators.   Attachment (1) _____________________________ "Hegel was right when he said that we learn from history that man can never learn anything from history." - Shaw Yooper Post #: 1

Not really worth anything but it's a color i dont see much. (i cant figure why...) It has what you would call stamp embossing and is from around 1900-1910 or so. After them they were reguired to say "MADE IN USA" on them. Or atleast sometime around tere, it's good that you found a mint one in a dump. I pull hem off the poles where they havent been touched in years with lots of chips on them. _____________________________ Let me know when the telegraph companies want their hemingray-42's back! bryan (in reply to Yooper14) Post #: 4
