CD-186.2 - HEMINGRAY Sold For: $743 Color: Clear
 | Great condition! During the annealing process, fractures often form around the "Nut" but this one is perfect! The pinhole is fitted with a brass bushing. All three members of the 186 series are found in both regular and extended-base height. This example is unusual in that, due to an underpour, it is actually shorter than the regular height. One can then put together a collection of three different heights of these "Nuts". There is a Hemingray drawing of this style that refers to it as a "spark gap insulator". This is a great example of this odd experimental insulator, especially in this outstanding condition! |

CD-186.2 - HEMINGRAY Sold For: $462 Color: Clear
 | This insulator has a six-sided nut embedded in the dome. It is similar to the CD 186.1, which was illustrated in a 1946 patent as a spark gap insulator. Many of these have stress fractures all around the nut, and this one is no exception. Three 1/4" inner skirt chips and 1/8" wire ridge flake, otherwise easily very near mint. Overall, not bad for a "nut". The dome is tilted to the left, adding interest to this already unique style. A great addition for the Hemingray specialist! |

CD-186.2 - HEMINGRAY Sold For: $1,375 Color: Clear EIN: [010]
 | This insulator has a six-sided nut embedded in the dome. It is similar to the CD 186.1, which was illustrated in a 1946 patent as a spark gap insulator. Many of these have some stress fractures around the nut, and this one is no exception. Quarter-sized fracture angled down from the nut at the left side, and a couple of small ones around the nut as well. Essentially free from dings, and only a 1/4" flake on the rear skirt. A unique style for the Hemingray specialist! |

CD-186.2 - HEMINGRAY Sold For: $1,815 Color: Clear
 | This is the unusual "Extended skirt variant" of "The Nut" where the skirt is over 3/8" taller than the "normal" unit. All insulators in the CD 186 series were produced with an extended skirt variant. See lot 140 for an example without the extended skirt. It is common for examples of CD 186.2 to have fractures in the dome due to the nut embedded in the glass, and this example has a 1/2" fracture in the dome. A little haze, perhaps from being dug, and about very near mint. CD 186.2 is rarely offered for sale, so take advantage of this opportunity! |

CD-186.2 - HEMINGRAY Sold For: $2,090 Color: Clear
 | It is common for examples of "The Nut" to have fractures in the dome due to the nut embedded in the glass. This example is perfect in that regard and overall in great condition. See lot 139 for an example with an "extended skirt". This is an outstanding example of a rarely offered item, and a must-have for the Hemingray or CD collector! |

CD-186.2 - HEMINGRAY Sold For: $688 Color: Clear
 | These are prone to some fracturing around the "nut" but this one is just about perfect! The whole CD 186.n series was formed by using the skirt of a single mold with various unique dome combinations. For over forty years, collectors wondered exactly what these might be used for and if the design was patented. It wasn't until several years ago that Bob Stahr found patent number 2,392,342 (January 8, 1946) which described this series as spark gap arrestors. Sometimes you feel like a "nut"! (#6894) |
