WOW - an abundance of embossing!  Does this item qualify for the most patent dates embossed on a glass insulator?

A very impressive, large insulator, measuring 10 inches in height.  Used on a high voltage power line in Colorado.

These outstanding insulators seldom appear for sale, this being only the second or third example we've offered in many decades of conducting auctions.

The vast majority of Locke 25 in collections are examples which were broken into pieces and re-assembled, including this one.  The lower sleeve section appears to be three pieces.  The top portion consists of several pieces.  The glass is 99.5% present, with apparently no glass pieces of consequence missing when assembled.
