So the Macomb sold on e-Bay in better shape for $26 and $12 shipping. Is it really a little more desirable?
Notice that MACOMB looks more like MAOOMB. ^ Interesting thing on it. It is a U-244 "flat top" piece made between 1910 and 1915 by Illinois Electric Porcelain Co. as a dry-press insulator. Source.The dome-portion is gorgeous, in my opinion anyway.
But, sadly, mine has damage as is typical of a dug insulator.
The inside has a very sharp point in there. ^
Then my mom got me this one because it still had the hardware:
It is unmarked.
And it is somewhat crude-- It is not a perfect circle anywhere on it.
This one is not damaged save for two cracks in the glaze.
More from its hardware:
Nut. Ideas on age and maker?
