A lot of insulators-- all common, but a few more I added for not even $5. Even more jars were there, but alas: I'm not familiar with a good jar from a bad. I just know that they were all post-1910 and brands that I'd never heard of.
The first is Brookfield, pre-1922 as we know that's when they went out (this should be a later insulator, as in closer to the 1922 mark,) and has a "B" on one side, the top, and a "1" on the other side. Does the "1" mean anything? On the other, it's a "B" on both sides and a "G" on the dome. Just "B" is usually the mark used on the insulators nearing the end of the company's production. Overall, very well-made pieces.
"RAY" is a bit higher up than is "HEMING." CD 152, 1910ish - 1921 is what I had read. It's also, apparently, specifically for telegraphs.
Notice the bubbles and unevenness of the glass in there ^, and notice below how the inner ring is off-center from the skirt.
It also has flecks of glass stuck in one portion. Overall, I like them. And the one or two that I won't keep, I may know someone who will like them. What CD number is the set of Bookfields?
The Brookfield Beehive-type styles?
