CD-182 - Whitall Tatum Dry Spot Sold For: $1,705 Color: Off clear/straw.
 | Fashioned after the Rufus Gould patent of 1929. The term 'Dry Spot' was issued to this insulator due to its special insulating features. A rather large insulator for telephone use, it was designed to allow a telephone drop line to be potted and sealed under the skirt, reducing leakage at the connection. They are quite scarce and highly sought after by CD collectors. Current high book value of $3,000 is based on record prices paid in the past, but recent sales of similar examples in good condition have decreased to our estimate range below. Now may be a good time to acquire one? The lighter color on the example may give it an advantage in scarcity, since most tend to have a deeper straw hue. |

CD-182 - DRY SPOT Sold For: $1,705 Color: Straw
 | About very, very near mint. 1/2" annealing line on the dome. These insulators were used to terminate a wire in the "dry spot" between the inner and outer skirts. The area was filled with a non-conductive substance (such as tar) to make a water-tight seal and protect the wire. The design was patented by Rufus Gould in 1929. Another "must" for the CD collector! |
