For sale here is a lot of 16 vintage #16 Hemingray glass telephone pole insulators from the early part of last century. Due to the price of glass, these old style insulators were phased out, in favor of ceramic insulators. Hemingray produced their last glass insulators in the 1960's. I acquired these from the estate of a widow who's husband worked for the telephone company many decades ago. He collected these during his years in the field, and they've been sitting in storage for a very long time. The insulators in this lot are all clean with NO major chips. All 16 of them are quite nice considering their age. They all have round drip points on the underside. They have the words "Hemingray - 16" embossed on one side, with the words, "Made In USA" embossed on the other side. They stand approximately 4 inches tall. Please see my photos for details. These insulators are have a really cool, vintage, industrial STEAMPUNK look to them. They're great to add to any collection, or for use in creating sculptural works of steampunk art. I've also seen them used as light covers. They catch the light really well. They would be a fantastic gift for some lucky steampunk artiste! I have a couple other lots of vintage insulators that I am selling, so please check out my other listings. Buyers in the local area are welcome to pick items up in person read more
