Not the best pictures,I can get better ones if needed.

It's not in the best shape some small cracks and chips.It's amber color and thread less.

Looks similar to a CD 731, I don't see any in amber on Ebay, could be a nice chuck o' change if you sell it. Hopefully someone more knowledgable will chime in...
 

Thanks!!
We were told it was a good one.Had someone say maybe $300.00-$350.00 they wanted to check into it more.
Maybe...
 

Definitly a CD731. Depending on condition, i'd stick somewhere from $485-$550 on it.

GreenHorn, it sounds like you have some nice insulators to show us too. We'd love to see.
 

I have this Hemingray that i would like to know the value of if anyone can identify. I've tried to go online and get a price but i couldn't decide which one i had.

Whatever it is, it's certainly a nice one and in good condition. Did you buy it or find it?
 

I found it at an old homeplace.

It has no chips or cracks and some really nice air bubbles

Did you find any others? I don't know why it would be alone.
 

No, found it and the bromo seltzer bottle and that was all. I tried to ID once on a website and i finally gave up.

That's weird though. I would think that some other insulators would be nearby from a pole somewhere. I hope someone can help you ID it.
 

Thanks "E", doesn't look like i'll be retiring early

Morning,

Yup, EPackage is correct, CD145. Bout the best you can hope for with that embossing (not a Petticoat) would be if it had some junk in the glass. Coin, nail, rock or whatever. The bigger the better.
ulk
Bottlehunter of cosco--I do still have a few insulators over at moms. I sold the bulk of them a few yrs back, couple different times. I guess at one time the collection was worth $60 grand or so. Sure i can dig up some pictures at some point.
 

Would love to see some pics GreenHorn!!
 

Looks like a CD 731 dark honey amber / dark orange amber - value 800-1000$

Nice insulator! I don't have any as nice as this one! But....


Not that I expect anyone to believe this ...But Very First Insulator I found while hiking abandoned area was a.....

CD 109.5 Harloe!!:thumbsup: yeaaaa......at the time I didn't know what the hell it was just that it was neat. Well after awhile some guy of a friend , told us "oh that just some old glass insulator for the railroad aka JUNK!!.........well I got tired of carrying in my backpack, so one day we decide to just chuck the old piece of glass back into the woods along the river. whoooops:BangHead:

Later I found out which type it was, what it was worth and will NEVER forget it! when you hold your first all glass 3 PRONG Crowned Insulator its unmistakable! it looks like 3 Claws on the top, that's why I thought it was so neat in the first place! actually its the only one with the 3 prongs that I know of that looks like that, which makes it so easy to remember and identify. yepppp had it held it and chucked it without a clue!

look the price up on one of those, matter fact there's one on ebay right now!

I still shake my head!
 

That takes the cake.
