1880s H.G. CO. Petticoat Glass Insulator

1880s H.G. CO. Petticoat Glass Insulator

This is another "beehive" insulator. I placed it next to my W.Brookfield insulator from the last post. You can see the comparison.
Front: H.G. CO.
Back: Petticoat
CD 145
** Narrow Skirt Mold
1880-1990
**"This is the uncommon Narrow Skirt mold. Instead of the 3 1/4" width of the standard H.G.CO. molds, the narrow skirt mold is only 3" wide"**

H.G. CO.?
That would be Hemingray Glass Company.

"During the 1880's the embossing "H.G.CO." replaces the "PATENT DEC.19.1871" embossing and several new styles of insulators are introduced. Most of these are the new double petticoat styles CD 145, CD 151, CD 162 and CD 164."

"The embossing "HEMINGRAY" appears on several new styles of insulators. The earliest of these probably are the No 8 CD 112.4 and the No 9 CD 106. Also "HEMINGRAY" replaces the "H.G.CO." embossing on most existing styles."
