U-189B - PEIRCE Sold For: $176 Color: Dark Brown
 | Recess-marked "PEIRCE / 1605" and "PAT'D / 5-18-15" on the dome. This style of insulator was patented on May 18, 1915 by Robert A. Manwaring and James T. Hessel of New Haven, Connecticut. The insulator was designed to support the power line for street lights. The glaze is beautiful with dark brown and lighter brown mottling. The edges of the wire ridges and flutes are highlighted in tan, emphasizing the unusual shape of this insulator. Very, very near mint. An interesting style for the porcelain collector! |

U-189B - PEIRCE 1605 Sold For: $743 Color: Caramel

Recess-marked "PEIRCE / 1605" and "PAT'D / 5-18-15" on the dome. Very good condition and a particularly desirable color make this example worth a premium over other examples! |
