Description

 #1851    CD 109.5       HI CO    HAWLEY PA USA         HARLOE'S PATENT     MAR 21. '99     MAR 12. '01     DEC 9, '02.     12. P.1        Blue aqua.

The "skinny" glass Harloe insulator with "HI Co" logo on reverse.  The three "fingers" overlapped each other, thus gripping the line wire.  

The smaller size Harloe has been found in two different variations, this "skinny" type having a taller appearance and the wire groove does not extend all the way around the insulator, unlike the regular small Harloe.   

Harloe patent insulator have surfaced in limited locations, including eastern Pennsylvania, Michigan and Maine.  

Harloe insulators are among the more unusually designed styles.  The Harloe Insulator Company produced some examples of their unusual patented insulators during the 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.

No damage to the base, that's a neat under pour!  Top portion of one finger is sheared off, otherwise in excellent condition.
