CD-194/195 - HEMINGRAY Sold For: $462 Color: Light Purple
 | These two-piece transpositions became truly "Sun-colored Amethyst" in color after being out in the sun, and many of them were found in sunny Florida! The top is often a slightly darker shade of purple than the bottom due to the increased exposure to the sun. Both pieces are in wonderful condition and they come with a clear transposition pin to invisibly hold them together. |

CD-194/195 - HEMINGRAY Sold For: $880 Color: Purple
 | Being out in the sun, these two-piece transpositions became truly "Sun-colored Amethyst" in color. The top is often slightly darker than the bottom. This top is a darker purple and the bottom a lighter purple than typically encountered. Of course, it's very unlikely that these were an original pair on the pole. Both are in easily very near mint condition, with a small area of scuffing on each piece. The bottom is significantly taller than average. This style of transposition insulator was found primarily in Florida. They were manufactured in 1945-46, as can be seen by the date codes. An interesting combination of color and size for this always-popular pair! |

CD-194/195 - HEMINGRAY-54 A/B Sold For: $660 Color: Light Purple / Purple EIN: [010]
 | The bottom of this two-piece transposition is 2 1/8" tall. This was the tallest CD 194 in an informal comparison of seven examples in our possession and a full 5/16" taller than lot 128. View 3 contrasts this lot (shown on the left) with the short example in lot 128. While these may not be the "shortest known" and "tallest known", they are significantly different in height. This style of transposition insulator was found primarily in Florida. They were manufactured in the 1940s, as can be seen by the date codes. The bottom is Light Purple. 1" base flake, otherwise very, very near mint. The top is Purple. Very, very near mint. |

 | The bottom of this two-piece transposition is 1 13/16" tall. This was the shortest example in an informal comparison of seven units in our possession and a full 5/16" shorter than lot 129. View 3 contrasts this lot (shown on the left) with the tall example in lot 129. While these may not be the "shortest known" and "tallest known", they are significantly different in height. The bottom has a very uncommon light coloration we will call Ice Purple. Very, very near mint. The top is Purple. 1" base bruise/chip, 1/4" inner skirt chip, otherwise very near mint.

CD-194/195 - HEMINGRAY Sold For: $715 Color: Purple w/ Washer
 | Original factory washer! Outstanding condition! These purple tramps are always eye-catchers. This style of two-piece transposition insulator was found primarily in Florida. These are true "sun-colored amethyst" pieces and, since the tops are exposed to more sun, they are often darker as with this example. But... this one has the original unbroken washer to cushion the top and bottom when screwed together. The washer is brittle but intact. You will likely want to display the insulator with the top off so you can see the washer. We'll price it in the range these units typically sell for, without considering the value the washer adds. You can decide that for yourself! |

CD-194/195 - HEMINGRAY-54 A/B Sold For: $660 Color: Purple w/ Washer
 | Original factory washer! Outstanding condition! An underpour on the base makes it tilt some as well as making it shorter. These purple tramps are always eye-catchers. This style of two-piece transposition insulator was found primarily in Florida. They were manufactured in 1945-46 as can be seen by the date codes. These are true "sun-colored amethyst" pieces and, since the tops are exposed to more sun, they are often darker as with this example. But... this one has the original unbroken washer to cushion the top and bottom when screwed together as can be seen in view 3. The washer is brittle but intact. The inside diameter of the washer is 1 1/8" and the overall diameter 1 3/4". It is 1/16" thick. We have never seen an example of this washer and we specialize in collecting Hemingray insulators. Probably not the "only one known" but have you seen another? You will likely want to display the insulator with the top off so you can see the washer. We' |
