#1789 CD 257 HEMINGRAY PATENT JUNE 17 1890 MAY 2 1893 Green with aqua.
Predominantly green with areas of aqua in the ears.
The various designs of Hemingray insulators are often different from what other manufacturers produced. Numerous other glass houses produced a standard "saddle groove" insulator for high voltage, most manufacturing the CD 258 though 260 "helmet" designs, whereas Hemingray created a completely differing design, the CD 257 "Mickey Mouse" type.
Typically found in aqua and Hemingray blue, the "green mix" units are much scarcer, and in high demand by collectors.
Excellent color separation in the ears!
Drip points appear perfect at first, but close inspection reveals two are only partially flaked. Remainder of insulator is very near mint.
