Bill & Jill Insulators - Next Auction: Coming Soon

 
CD-268 - CROWN       Sold For: $11,550       Color: Dark Green Aqua
"The Crown" is that "hole in one" insulator that brings to mind other ultra-rare and desirable insulators like EMMINGER'S, BUZBY, SEILERS, CLIMAX and the list goes on... That combination of rarity, coupled with an interesting or unique shape, makes these prize insulators. Only three of the eight edges of the damage-prone vertical wire groove have some small flakes, indicating this example was likely used on a line. Many of the known examples have a slight overpour on the base with some minor flaking, and this example has three small flakes. A couple of dings on the crown. All of this is mentioned for completeness; it is not distracting at all when the insulator is displayed in your light box. There are probably less than a dozen examples in collections today. One very unusual feature is the hole at the top where the tie wire goes through. The "bell shape" is certainly attractive and visually sets this piece apart from most other insulator profiles. T
