CD-283 - HEMINGRAY Sold For: $132 Color: Blue Aqua
 | These are often found with some chipping and drip point damage. This only has a flake on the outside and inside that chips 1 drip point; in the rear there are 3 missing drip points next to 2 chipped drip points, 1 chipped drip point with associated small shallow fracture. On April 25, 1899, Vernon G. Converse was granted a design patent for the "Provo" type insulators, specifically mentioning the "horizontal petticoats" (ridges), the "vertical petticoats" (inner skirts) and the "shield" (outer skirt). The insulator was rated at 25,000 volts in literature of the time. This unit is a nice example and better than many! |

CD-283 - HEMINGRAY Sold For: $308 Color: Blue Aqua
 | The drip points, as well as the entire insulator, look perfect! We'll call it very, very, very near mint just to be sure. On April 25, 1899, Vernon G. Converse was granted a design patent for the "Provo" type insulators, specifically mentioning the "horizontal petticoats" (ridges), the "vertical petticoats" (inner skirts) and the "shield" (outer skirt). The insulator was rated at 25,000 volts in literature of the time. This is example is definitely worth a premium due to its outstanding condition, and it is clean and shiny to boot! |

CD-283 - HEMINGRAY Sold For: $578 Color: Hemingray Blue Aqua EIN: [020]
 | Perfect drip points! In fact, when we look over the entire insulator, we don't see any damage at all, not even flaking at the base of the threads or the typical roughness at the base of the skirt. Exceptional condition, especially given the hard life these insulators led. The style number is "No 1 Provo" and this example has the characteristic "fizz" of Hemingray Blue, although a purist might not call it True Hemingray Blue. On April 25, 1899, Vernon G. Converse was granted a design patent for the "Provo" type insulators, specifically mentioning the "horizontal petticoats" (ridges), the "vertical petticoats" (inner skirts) and the "shield" (outer skirt). The insulator was rated at 25,000 volts in literature of the time. See lot 136 for a really nice swirly "No 2 Provo!" This "No 1 Provo" is certainly worth a premium for its outstanding condition! |
