Three Hemingray Glass Insulators Aqua and Clear

Updated September 10, 2026

Three antique glass insulators of the kind used on telegraph, telephone, and power lines. All three are Hemingray, which does not match the original consignor listing; that listing named W. Brookfield and Whitall Tatum, and no Brookfield or Whitall Tatum marking appears anywhere in the photos. (1) Blue aqua insulator embossed HEMINGRAY-42 with MADE IN U.S.A. on the base, about 4 1/2 inches tall, with a light internal fracture or bruise in the lower skirt that shows when light passes through it. (2) A second Hemingray-42 in a milky, frosted pale aqua of the same size, with heavy mineral haze and old line dirt in the threads. (3) Small clear insulator about 3 3/4 inches tall, embossed HEMINGRAY on the front with MADE IN U.S.A. and mold numbers on the base; the size matches the common Hemingray-16. All three retain sound threaded pinholes and beaded skirts and show line dirt and light surface scuffing, with no rim chipping visible in the photos. Condition is good. Sold as-is. Photos are the most accurate description of this lot. Written descriptions are a guide only and may contain errors. Please review all photos before bidding.
