RE: Yesterdays dig - 9/30/2007 6:19:24 PM    Tony14 Posts: 2480 Joined: 2/15/2005 From: Fond du Lac, Wisconsin Status: online Thanks doug! Yea it is pretty clean and displays great. I dont have to many insulators but the ones i have i like. Yea the local sodas are always great. Those h. nehring mug bases are hard to dig in good condition. For some reason the mug base always tended to crack. This one is probably the best one ive ever dug. _____________________________ Looking for any Fond du Lac bottle.

RE: Yesterdays dig - 10/1/2007 8:11:42 PM    Brains   Posts: 487 Joined: 9/2/2006 From: Hilliard/columbus ohio Status: offline I would say the insulator is ice aqua or blue (cant tell by the picture, could be clear but un-likely) ice blue and ice aqua are listed at 15-20 each, nothing rare yet i have never found one so i wouldnt say it';s common. It is probably from around the 1890's, i dont kno9w weather hemingray was making that cd# before the 1893 drip point patent but i will assume they didnt and say that yours was made between 1893-1894 (wild guess) because thats when the covengton plant restarted maiking insulators and most of the insulators made at the covengton factory were light and ice colors. Of corse, youll want to get a 2nd opinion on that statement Nice insulator! _____________________________ Let me know when the telegraph companies want their hemingray-42's back! bryan (in reply to Tony14) Post #: 12

RE: Yesterdays dig - 10/1/2007 9:16:00 PM    Insulators Rule!   Posts: 289 Joined: 8/30/2004 From: Strathroy, Ontario, Canada Status: offline While the HGCo's in ice aqua, ice blue, etc list at 15-20, I doubt you could get it. I did have 2 in somewhat the same colour, picked them up at the national a few years ago for 2 bucks a piece. The colours really vary as to what you have in your area, I know that. _____________________________ Kyle Collector of Insulators, Ontario marked bottles, railway memorabilia and signs of all sorts (in reply to madman) Post #: 14
