RE: Insulator mounts,value? - 9/5/2006 3:23:03 PM    Brains   Posts: 487 Joined: 9/2/2006 From: Hilliard/columbus ohio Status: offline the M mold beehive was produced some time over 100 yeals ago at the hemingray glass plant in covington kentucky. I belive it was produced from the year 1884 ( when the oakmen glass co patented it) til about 1900-1905 or somthing like that when the company came under new ownership and were later embosed with just "hemingray". The ones with an H on the dome are the newer varity and are EXTREEMLY commen but they are amoung my favorite insulators. The hemingray 40 was made from 1900-1920 when they were replaced buy the newer hemingray 42's. And as for the 1 with the hand written embossing and drips, that was made in 18?? til 1910 i think. Hope this helped and if not just go to this website for info www.hemingray.info _____________________________ Let me know when the telegraph companies want their hemingray-42's back! bryan (in reply to JGUIS) Post #: 22

I think it books for$2 or less. See what improfections you can find in the glass, that would make it desirable like to, ooo, i dont know. me? _____________________________ Let me know when the telegraph companies want their hemingray-42's back! bryan (in reply to 3emarketeers) Post #: 27

RE: Insulator mounts,value? - 9/16/2006 10:26:59 AM    Brains   Posts: 487 Joined: 9/2/2006 From: Hilliard/columbus ohio Status: offline I suppose you could call me a pack rat, when we (my dad & I) go insulator hunting he insists that i only keep the uncommen insulators but i keep all the common 1's along with the rare 1's. I do because it's gonna be a long time before you start to see glass insulators replacing plastic or ceramic, infact i dont think that will ever happen! Keep everything is what i try to do, enless it's completly destroied. Then it;s ok to leave behind. Bryan (in reply to madpaddla) Post #: 36
