Description

#1945        Unmarked.     "French Elephant"        White porcelain.

A very unusually designed "dry spot" type insulator that resembles the trunk of an elephant.

Found on a building in France decades ago, still mounted on the original iron bracket.

A rather tall item, the insulator alone measures 6-1/4" tall.  With bracket included it's 8-1/8" tall. 

Outer portion of insulator remains excellent.  The pin expanded somewhat with the metal rusting, the inner skirt separating some, with two pieces missing.
