Description

#2467       CD 528       Unmarked.      Aqua.

Although produced at a much later date, this French insulator is similar is overall design to the American made 788 "slash-top" threadless produced in the 1800's.

A little surface haze on just a small portion of the insulator body, otherwise in sparkling very, very near mint condition. 

Update:  Information obtained form Lis Bergman's book Glass Insulators Manufactured By L'Electro-Verre/Sediver includes the following information:  During the 1950's Algeria was a colony of France which was being invaded by guerrillas from Tunisia and Morocco.  As a means of hindering access into Algeria at the Algeria-Tunisia border, fences were constructed using barbed wire and 5000 volt electric lines.  The Morice and La Calle lines both used this type insulator in the 1950's.  Although unmarked, the CD 528 insulator was likely produced by L'Electro Verre based on glass color and the segmented threads which are similar to those in some embossed L'Electro Verre insulators.
