    Armstrong Glass Insulators

    Following up from my Whitall-Tatum post..remember they were taken over by Armstrong.

    The smaller insulator on the left is a number 2 - CD 122. Date code is 1948
    The larger one is a number DP1- CD 155. Date code is 1965

    READING THE ARMSTRONG CODE
    On the number 2 it's stamped 62 48 after the Armstrong logo. This means mold #62, made in 1948.

    THE MYSTERY SOLVED?
    While posting, I noticed that one insulator says, "Armstrong" and the other says, "Armstrong’s". I looked at my older post of Armstrong’s insulators and I can see those were 1947 & 1954. So my conclusion is, that they dropped the 's, possibly in the 1960's? I have not found an explanation yet.

    DP1
    "The Armstrong DP1 is Armstrong’s version of a CD-155 insulator. CD-155 replaced the widely used CD-154 insulators, like the Hemingray 42."
