#3071 U-2898 NO 113 JOHNSON & PHILLIPS Brown stoneware.
Height: 4-7/8 inches.
A sizable and unusually formed insulator from England. The large, bold cross-top is very eye catching, and the interior forms an oil reservoir, quite similar to the North American CD 180 "Liquid Insulator."
The insulator was originally produced with a much taller height. When the clay was still pliable, the lower portion of the skirt was curled inward and upward, thus forming an interior reservoir for holding oil. The top portion of the reservoir extends upward 1-1/4 inches from the rounded base.
Keith Neal describes this type insulator in his book titled Railway and Other Rare Insulators. Neal mentions Johnson & Phillips patented their Fluid Insulator in September 1876 under No. 3534.
A highly unusual, historical and rare insulator that will certainly witness strong activity!
Exceptional, very near mint condition!
Jim & Lis Bergman collection.
