#1009 CD 109.5 HICO. HARLOE’S PATENT MAR 21. ‘99 MAR. 12 ‘01. DEC. 9 ‘02 12 P1. Aqua.
The Harloe insulators are among the more unusually designed styles. The Harloe Insulator Company produced some examples of Harloe patent insulators during it’s brief operation of a glass factory in Elmer, New Jersey. Shortly thereafter, the glass making facility in Hawley, Pennsylvania became operational, and the Harloe patent insulators were produced there. The company was so confident of the design’s popularity, that they produced in excess of 20 individual Harloe Patent molds in various sizes. Obviously, their popularity never materialized, as examples of all mold variants remain rare today.
Glass Harloe insulators were produced in various sizes and configurations. Although this tall, "skinny" type is currently classified as CD 109.5, it is different than the regular "small" Harloe. The typical small Harloe is shorter, and has a wire groove that traverses all the way around the upper body of the insulator. On this taller type, the wire groove is present only about 2/3 the distance around the insulator, the back portion completely lacking a wire groove.
This skinny style has the additional embossing on the rear skirt: "HICo Hawley, PA. U.S.A."
The design is quite prone to damage, so finding examples in exceptional condition is quite difficult. And, EXCEPTIONAL this beauty is! Possibly never used, as we can't find a speck anywhere! For accuracy, we'll mention a couple very narrow places on the interior where the glass contracted and separated, leaving very shallow crevasses, similar to mud shrinking when it dries, This is in no way damage, and mentioned so that any lines seen in the photo are not interpreted as fractures. We don't use the word "mint," but if we did, this would be a candidate!
