#3500 CD 136.7 PATD. OCT. 15 1872. Aqua.
Embossed on the flat collar below the internal, three segmented threads.
This type insulator was illustrated and described in Partrick & Carter’s 1878 Catalogue. Partrick & Carter, a supply house in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, offered insulators with a smooth pinhole, segmented threads, or a regular thread. The P&C listing claims telegraph superintendents pronounced this type insulator to be the "perfection" of all glass insulators.
Believed to have been found on a right of way operated by the Central Of New Jersey Railroad in the state of New Jersey.
Aside from a hazy surface (see second photo), the insulator remains in very near mint condition.
