    Wondering about this GIANT one. Is it rare? Appears to be dated May 2 1889 or 1899? See size in comparison to the others. Anyone know the maker?

    And what about that little clear cylindrical one next to it?

      I think it is a Hemingray No1 Provo type. There is writing embossed on it. I like that and the green one. SpiritBear can check my work.

      FortApache - I thought that might be what it is. Thanks everyone!

      You need more photos/description.

      Hemingray May 2nd, 1893. They patented the drip-points on the bottom albeit sometimes they put it on insulators without the drip-points. LOL. Patent seen on some insulators all the way to the 1960s.

      OleBodie - I posted it in Unsolved Mysteries. I hope you have some insight!
