Description

#3009        CD 293       FRED M. LOCKE    VICTOR NY.       (patent dates)        Amethyst.

Examples of this type insulator were discovered in Louisiana many years ago. 

Not many North American power glass insulators were produced in amethyst coloration.  The various styles manufactured for Locke were typically aqua or green, so this heavy brut is unusual.

The large "Locke - Victor" lettering is all nicely embossed. "Other Patents Pending" all legible.  Patent dates are weak and some not discernible.

Fingernail chip on inner skirt.  Two flat chips on the top... one is penny size, the other somewhat larger.
