Mold Variation

[015] Hemingray-42 Variant

This oddity was likely an early experimental piece of what would later become the Hemingray 45. It appears to be a modified CD 154 mold. The actual insulator hasn't been seen since the early 1970's. A picture slide of this insulator was discovered by John & Carol McDougald in 1995, shown here. Read the full article about this interesting piece. Photo courtesy of Bill Meier of Insulators.info.
