CD-131.4 - L.G.T.& CO. Sold For: $198 Color: Light Aqua
 | This early telegraph style was produced for the telegraph and railway supply company of L.G. Tillotson. Fine scuffing on the dome, some dings and flakes here and there.

CD-131.4 - DEC. 19 Sold For: $165 Color: Light Blue Aqua
 | This is one of the four known mold styles for this insulator, as uniquely identified by the chunks of mold which are missing from the upper wire ridge in the front and rear. A nice milk worm winds around the front of the skirt and zigzags up and down on the rear skirt. Strong embossing with well-pronounced mold lines. 3/4" skirt bruise, 1/2" skirt flake, otherwise about very near mint. A nice, old classic Hemingray telegraph style! |

A nice early threaded glass example for your telegraph insulator or Hemingray collection! |

CD-131.4 - {Unembossed Hemingray} Sold For: $77 Color: Sage Green
 | 2" area of base chipping in the rear and some flakes and dings scattered around. The distinctive three-piece "button" mold (where the mold line encircles the dome), the off-center pinhole, and the plunger mark at the top of the pinhole indicate that this piece was made by Hemingray. It was most likely produced in the late 1860s. (#2515) |

CD-131.4 - {Unembossed Hemingray} Sold For: $61 Color: Light Green
 | 3" area of base chipping. The surface is hazy and there are some fisheyes, perhaps indicating the insulator had been buried. The three-piece "button top" mold and the impression at the top of the pinhole indicate that this early threaded insulator is of Hemingray manufacture and most likely predates the December 19, 1871 patent. It will appeal to both Hemingray and early telegraph collectors! (#2513) |
