<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Crystalina, post: 2658538, member: 16356&quot;]I bought a lot of insulators at an estate auction, the price was awesome for the whole lot!&nbsp; Even though I love them and always thought they were cool, I know really nothing about them. I searched for as much info as I can find, but I have no idea when they were actually made, type of insulator, value based on condition and as to </p><p>whethe&nbsp; (not sure what happened here, but see below pics for rest of info)[ATTACH=full]273151[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]273152[/ATTACH] r or not I should clean them or leave them as is. Also there is a VERY unusual insulator in there.&nbsp; It is a Hemingray 12, but the &quot;N&quot; is missing in Hemingray, the 12, May 2 1893 is off set and the &quot;E&quot; is backwards on the word Patent.&nbsp; &nbsp; Another one from May 2, 1893 is missing the number or at least I can&#039;t find it.&nbsp; Here is what I have on them. I apologize ahead of time for pics, did the best I can. I have a neurological condition that makes me jerk and shake. Please keep in mind these are hard to measure, so I could be off a tad:</p><p><br /></p><p>Aqua H 40 says Patented May 2 1893, dirty inside but not heavily so, tiny chip on outside and tiny chips on pointed bottom beads (is that what you call them?), 4&quot; T x 3.5&quot; base</p><p><br /></p><p>Clear H 42, 0-4:, made in usa, 46A, chip on bottom, light dirt on inside, 4&quot; t x 3.75&quot; base</p><p><br /></p><p>Aqua H 42, 33-52:.
