Description

#3883         U-2059A?       FORTIS   DEPOSE.        White porcelain.               

Height: 3-1/2 inches.  Double petticoat.   Marked with a green ink stamp on the lower skirt.

A highly unusual design from France, having two "eyes" and a "cross top." 

Rusted pin is still cemented inside the pinhole (does not extend to insulator base).  Fracture traverses from base to the upper wire groove, then travels horizontally and back down to the base.  This is a through fracture that includes the outer and inner skirts.

From the Jim & Lis Bergman collection.

Update 10:35 P.M. Saturday, February 24.  Second image added, showing one of the fractures and a different perspective of the top.
