#2328 CD 123 E.C&M CO S.F. Arizona blue.
"A" mold.
"Arizona Blue" is a name coined by insulator collectors to describe this distinctive blue coloration found in a small number of EC&M's used primarily on the US Military Telegraph network in the state of Arizona. Materials, including wire, instruments and insulators for the communication network were purchased from the Electrical Construction & Maintenance Company of San Francisco.
The network traversed from San Diego, California, staying close to the border with Mexico, to Yuma, thence to Maricopa Wells, where the line split, on leg going to Prescott by way of Phoenix and Wickenburg. The other leg from Maricopa Wells went to Camp Grant, by way of Florence and Tucson. Once reaching Camp Grant, the line split again, one fork going north to Fort Apache, the other headed southeast to Fort Bowie and into New Mexico.
There's some base chipping and a sizable arc shape piece missing, which results in the insulator leaning to one side. Otherwise the insulator remains free of chips, dings and fractures, having only a little surface haze.
A colorful relic from the "Old West" that's nearly 150 years old.
