RE: insulator help needed - 4/8/2007 4:30:21 PM    Brains   Posts: 487 Joined: 9/2/2006 From: Hilliard/columbus ohio Status: offline just read somthin on insulators.com about the elmur glass company (company that made most star insulators) and if i remember correct they went put of business in 1909? Star is supposed to be a GE logo (main theroy, still un proven) and GE was founded in 1903. There weret any acuall dates but it looks as if alot of different glass companies made star insulators like brookfield and hawly glass works. Hmmm, i dont think anyone knows for sure. _____________________________ Let me know when the telegraph companies want their hemingray-42's back! bryan (in reply to Inkman) Post #: 6

The STAR CD 162 was manufactured by several of the prominent glass companies in the early 1900s ; Novelty Glass, Sterling and Harloe after it’s move to Hawley, Pa. Excavations at the Elmer “lower works” in 1980 produced fragments of Harloe type STAR CD 162 (12). hope it helps, got this from insulators.com _____________________________ Happy huntin (in reply to Brains) Post #: 7
