Hemingray 9 Glass Insulator

The Hemingray 9 Glass Insulator was first produced starting in 1890 for rural telephone service.  Manufacturing glass defects were very common making many # 9 insulators unique and display the true characteristics of antique glass. Defects often found are amber swirls, jade swirls, black streaks, and small bubbles.
