r/Insulators

Did Brookfield use a “C” as a shop letter. Thanks

Drilled them right into the pole and climbed up and got it! Im gonna clean the crossarm and coat with polyurethane when I get some

How common was it for Pyrex to make insulators?

Pull these off of an old 34 line. Has a 46 on one side but not sure if that’s the date.

Found a striking blue "micky mouse" Hemmingray-60 today at the local antique mall! I paid a bit more for this one that any insulator before but I just couldn't pass it up! It has some chipped teeth on the bottom, but nothing in life is perfect lol. Last pic is it among my other finds 🌈

Bought these two off eBay. Is it normal and legit to have the color so dark and dense? The color is definitely ingrained in the glass and seem to be real insulators . Purple says 6-41 on the back. The amber one says “ 51 56…” on the back . Regardless I don’t regret buying them just wasn’t sure if the color was normal.

Hi all! I found this insulator while beachcombing in Western Washington this morning. Attempted to ID it myself, but as you can see a good portion of the bottom is missing so I can't say for sure what it might have been embossed with beyond PETTICOAT. I had no idea these things even existed before today, so any help I could get with identification would be much appreciated! :)

Anybody have a name for theses trapped particles

They will be going up on my store unfortunately, but wanted to share this first batch..they are beautiful

Anybody have any idea what the “M” above the H.G.signifies. Has PETTICOAT on the back. Thanks

Probably dumb question but is the groove at the top where the wire would go a defect or is the groove made that way. Thanks

Anybody know why the color basically stops towards the bottom
