Marking on bottom is difficult to make out. Solid glass, small opening on top. Stand 3 in high 3/4 wide at base. Would love to know what it is, who made it and when..what was it used for?
Insulator? 3" x 3/4". Who and when manufactured? | ||

Hi, and welcome whatisthis, could you show the bottom and top? It may help, but it does look like some sort of insulator. Someone will know! :^)
@billretirecoll..thank you..added additional shots.
Sure does...I've never seen one like this before that I recall! There's a site that has extensive research listed for all, completed and very informative where you will most likely be able to find one like this. It may take you a good amount of time, but it may be worth the work to find it. I'll see if I can find it for you and be back. This is a great one although I'm not positive what you are showing is actually a makers mark, don't know...
Here you go!

There are a few sites like this but you can start here. Would love to find out about your results!
Thank you for the feedback..I will update you on what I find. I have another one a bit taller that I will add.
Here's a link that may help:

It may be a stand off insulator, or for a neon light? Just guesses! :^)
Oh shareurpassion got it before me, I came back to my old post no others showed! :^D
Any and all input is valued. I will try looking at stand off and neon light. I reside in southern NJ near several glass manufactures that made insulators..I had no idea.
It looks like it rolled around in the ocean for a while.
The top part looks like a building wiring insulator, which are similar to neon light insulators.
I found it buried under 2-3 inches of dirt in my yard..the other 2 that I posted were buried next to this one. I had no clue what it was.thought it was a fuse or lightbulb from something..I accidently stumbled on insulators during my search. I can not find anything that looks like them. All 3 of them are 1solid piece..was wondering if a dome or capi s missing.
