I picked up my first insulator that had a plain "B" on the front. I did not have this variation. I noticed on the top though that it has an "8" with a point next to it. Does anybody know what that means?

Nice. Does anyone know if this the same style? My first one found, broken of course. Is this considered a “beehive” insulator. Has a backward 10 on top which I guess is the shop. What is the cd number, my guess was a cd143 or cd145. Any Insulator info is appreciated

Csa yours is a Later Brookfield as well, CD145. CD143s were Canadian insulators and Brookfield as far as I know didn't make them

Thanks! I’m certain there are more. It was on a old knocked down telegraph pole. Problem is it’s an active commuter line so.....
