Some McKee threadless insulators were used in eastern states, as well as on the historic, transcontinental Union Pacific Railroad in Wyoming and Utah.
Samuel McKee, born in 1808, learned glass blowing as a boy. In 1834 he, along with James McKee and James Salisbury, erected a window glass factory. Two years later, Samuel McKee, James McKee and Thomas McKee created the firm of S. McKee & Company. In 1860, Samuel became sole proprietor, remaining in business until his death in 1877. Window glass, large quantities of bottles and other wares were produced by the company. Insulators were only a small portion of articles manufactured.
Nice, well defined embossing.
This one has a great surface appearance, showing a detailed, swirled pattern, the result of being exposed to the elements for decades. Some attractive, colorful rainbow iridescence is present as well. Although the insulator may have been discovered elsewhere, the glass surface closely resembles that of insulators found along the Union Pacific Railroad right of way in Wyoming and Utah.
