Ceramic insulator for telephone or electric. What is it worth?

[ringding]

I found a large brown ceramic insulator for telephone or electric lines. Does anyone know what those are worth? I saw a green glass one nearby but it was broke.

Check e-bay for insulators.

the mark it has looks like a B inside a circle, it is possible it is an 8.

Sounds like the Ohio Brass "B"-inside-"O" insulator mark. See examples of their mark at:

Also, try comparing your insulator to the porcelain ones shown on the link pages at:

Here is a picture of the insulator. Next to it is a bottle. I believe it is: S.r. apico. It is 6 1/2 ounces and bottled in Macon Georgia. What is S.r. apico?

OK I did some surfing and the closest thing I could find was Grapico. Thing is, it doesn't look like a g. Oh well.

PBK,

good job, you are always helpful.

Ring,

Looks like you updated your post while I was punching in this one.

I still think it might be Grapico, a grape-flavored soft drink sold mainly in the South. Anyway, it's the only soda I know of ending in the letters "...apico."

Thanks PBK, spot on as usual.

The bottle in the link looks like mine but mine is pretty worn and it doesn't have the wings.
