Insulator Profile: CD 154  
Home > Hemingray Database  

The Hemingray 42 is probably the single most common Hemingray style there is. It was also the insulator that got me started in the hobby! (My actual first insulator is pictured on the right.)

Primary Embossings:
HEMINGRAY
NO NAME
Dates Produced:
1921-c.1960s
Style Number:42
Usage: Telegraph
Trade Name: Double Petticoat, 24 Oz.

4" H x 3 5/8" W
Mold Variations
"Fang" Drip Point Variant
For a short period of time on a few molds, Hemingray used unusually long, sharp drip points, called "fangs" by the collecting hobby. As you can imagine, these are commonly found with chipped or missing drip points.
Short Mold Variant
This mold is slightly shorter overall than the earlier molds, shown above. These can be found with large or small embossings (small embossing shown), and are always found in clear or near-clear colors.
