Description

#674       735     U.P.R.R.     MULFORD & BIDDLE      Light aqua.    

The 735 threadless insulators with “U.P.R.R.” embossing were produced for use on the historic, first transcontinental railroad line across America, completed in 1869.  They were placed in service through Wyoming and into Utah, all the way to Promontory, where the rails of the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific met.  

The vast majority of Mulford & Biddles that were used along the Union Pacific received rough handling, resulting in moderate to extensive damage.  Locating examples in non-chipped condition is quite difficult, so finding one such as this with only minor surface blemishes and patchy surface haze is an exception.
