CD 249/312| Dimensions: | 11" H × 5 1⁄4" W |
Bore Size:The bore is the inner hole diameter of a bushing or floor/wall tube insulator, and is often tapered so that one end is wider (max) than the other (min). Hemingray measured the bore of their floor/wall tube insulators on the smallest (minimum) end. | 1 1⁄4" (min); 2 1⁄4" (max) |
Primary Embossing:The Primary Embossing is typically found on the front of the insulator and usually identifies either the manufacturer (such as "Hemingray") or the company that the insulator was made for (such as "AM.TEL.&TEL.CO.") Insulators with No Name or No Embossing are denoted as such. |

| Years Produced: | c.1900s |

This style is rare or unique enough that a current insulator price guide should be consulted. |

EINThe Embossing Index Number (EIN) is a unique number assigned by the collecting hobby to each distinct embossing for an insulator design. It is normally shown in brackets, e.g. [050]. |
EmbossingMost common terms: (F-Skirt): Front Skirt (R-Skirt): Rear Skirt /: New line of embossing {}: Special note (not embossed on the insulator) [#]: Represents a number Other terms: {MLOB}: Mold Line Over Base (F-Crown): Front Crown (R-Crown): Rear Crown (F-Umbrella): Front Umbrella (R-Umbrella): Rear Umbrella |
BaseThe base is the bottom of the insulator. Hemingray made 4 different types of bases: 1. SDP: Sharp Drip Points 2. RDP: Round Drip Points 3. CB: Corrugated Base 4. SB: Smooth Base  |
Year AddedThis is the year that this embossing was officially recognized and added to the McDougald (1991-2008) or Briel (2011-2023) insulator price guides. It is not necessarily the year this embossing was discovered. |
