I'm seriously upside down on this one because the primary embossing is indicative of the cd 124.2, BUT the embossing is not exactly as shown AND the dome on the 124.2 is higher than yours which presents like a CD 120
That is a CD 120 PATENT - DEC. 19 1871 in light aqua or light green. It is a HEMINGRAY product made in the late 1800s. I am not sure of the EIN number but as a general statement these would book at about $10 to $75 depending on the actual color and condition. They are what we call PONIES in the hobby and are also considered to be "early threaded" insulators. You can see a half dozen example CD 120s in the photo. Feel free to call if you have any other questions. IT IS A NICE PIECE!Got this from a box I had bought at an antique store. It has Pat. Dec. 19 1871 crudely embossed around the top. One on side there is the letter D and on the other the number 5. It has a very pale green color. Does anyone know the CD type and what it is worth?
