Porcelain Insulator

I dont collect these, but found one buried in mud. I'll attach a pic if anyone is interested. I was wondering where these date in the world of insulators. Brief desc: Round...has a cable notch running across the top.

I'm interested in seeing it, post a pic!

Yea, can't tell you anything w/o a picture. There were millions of that description made.

Sorry for the delay....resizing pics can be a pain in the arse[]

Early to mid 1900s power (High Voltage) piece made by the millions and about worthless in collector terms. Still, it's better to find one of those than a rock.

Well I picked it up along with many a broken applied lip tops (mostly flasks) that day. It was nice to see something whole! Have to take the bad with the good I guess.

It can be tough to tell with a dark glaze like that, but does it have any markings at all? As Jim said, it's not valuable in collector terms but it's certainly a nice find. It's hard to argue with "free."
