Скачать или смотреть A Very Unique Looking Power Insulator!

Here's an insulator that's in a league of its own! Made exclusively by Hemingray, it was a rather distinct shape that resembles a Doorknob or a push-pin! So it has a couple of fun nicknames! There's actually a French made piece that looks somewhat similar as well. This piece was made for use on secondary power distribution, meaning it was used on lower stepped down voltages near the end usage point such as a house or building! Hemingray likely made this particular piece in the 1920s-30s, based on the embossing style "Hemingray-25" and the aqua color. However, I did locate a catalog advertising this style insulator in 1940, so later version (likely clear ones) may have been sold into the early 1940s as well. It's a really cool piece that always starts a good conversation!
