#3844 1000 Unembossed. Glass Block. Aqua.
Glass blocks are among the earliest insulator types used in America, their usage going as far back as the 1840's. The largest and perhaps most well known discovery of glass blocks was decades ago in a Gallatin, Tennessee railroad building. Most of the units recovered were of various exotic colors including several differing green and darker amber shades and tones. Aqua examples have been found at numerous locations in the US.
This example is a bit unusual. One end of the insulator is taller than the other by nearly 1/4 inch. Note the taller stature of the left end in the first photo.
The third image depicts illustrations of block style insulators as they were mounted in crossarm and side bracket applications. In both cases, a small piece of board was fastened over top of the insulator to help secure it, and protect from weather.
A dug item with portions of the glass being hazy. Shallow flakes on some corners. An old resin repair to one corner can be seen in first and second images. Half inch fracture can be seen in second photo (center of top section). Some damage, but still a decent example.
