CD 187 California, smoky purple, #14

ITEM No.: 14  CD No.: 187  EMBOSSING: California  COLOR: Smoky purple.  CONDITION: About vnm+, less the usual factory roughness at the top.  SUMMARY: Known as the Brown's Pony or duplex style, this resourceful insulator was primarily designed and patented to fit on the base of a duplex pin, therefore doubling the line capacity. Some duplex insulators have also been found with secondary uses in mines, thus some collectors inaccurately refer to them as "mine insulators". Nice pleasing color and better than average condition on this one.
ESTIMATED VALUE: $200 - $250  OPENING BID: $120
