Description

#3581       CD 257      HEMINGRAY     PATENT JUNE 17 1890    MAY 2 1893      Aqua with olive amber impurities.   

The various designs of Hemingray insulators are often different from what other manufacturers produced.  Numerous other glass houses produced a standard "saddle groove" insulator for high voltage, most manufacturing the CD 258 though 260 "helmet" designs, whereas Hemingray created a completely differing design, the CD 257 "Mickey Mouse" type.

Typically found in aqua and Hemingray blue, the the examples with green or amber impurities are in high demand by collectors.

Shiny, very near mint condition!!!

Update, 10:35 A.M. Tuesday January 9:  This item remains in very nice condition.  Only two drip points are partially flaked, one of which can be seen to the left of center in the photo.  The center drip point that appears incomplete, is actually all there, with an air pocket inside, resulting in the tip being overexposed (invisible) in the photo.  Another slightly short drip point to the right of center is not damaged.  Rather, the glass did not fill out completely when molded.
