		Hemingray Insulator Profile: CD 154
		Home > Hemingray Database

The Hemingray 42 was one of Hemingray's most popular and prolific insulators. These were manufactured by the millions, so most are extremely common. This style replaced the also-popular Hemingray No.40 (CD 152) in 1921. As a side note, this is the insulator that got me started collecting (my actual first insulator is pictured on the right).

Mold Variations

"Fang" Drip Point Variant

For a short period of time on a few molds, Hemingray used unusually long, sharp drip points, sometimes called "fangs" or "dragon teeth" 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.
