Description

#2679          743.1       Unmarked.        Aqua.       

A beehive style threadless insulator from Canada that is among the later threadless types produced, likely in the 1870's.  Found in limited numbers, mostly along Canadian railway lines.

The wood covering on "Wade" type insulators is "beehive" shaped, and this glass look-alike is possibly an offshoot of that type insulator.

Spectacular, shiny condition with only a match head dome blemish!  A collector could search a very long time to find one so nice!

Update 5:35 P.M. Friday, January 27.  Second photo added showing the small dome blemish.
