    Two more insulators I've had for a while: Harloe Insulator Co. of Hawley, Pa (1902 - 1906) and a crown-embossed W. Brookfield Insulator circa-1880s-1890s New York.

    On the back heel of the Hawley, as collectors call this (The "beehhive" style big one) type, is a 5. It is unlikely, but it may mean 1905 for it.

    Brookfield insulators that are crown-embossed often have weak embossing. This one, though no exception, has a swirl of grey.

    I got them for $5, which is approximate value.
