Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:1807415 | Modified Item: No |
| Featured Refinements: PORCELAIN INSULATOR | Country/Region of Manufacture: United States |
Up for auction are two nice Roman Helmet Cable Top no name porcelain insulators, both of which are approximately 3 and 3/4 inches wide at the base and approximately 4 and 1/4 inches in height.
The first Roman Helmet is a really nice color that is near impossible for me to narrow it down to a single color. Brown or Reddish Brown with hints of tan and rust colors. Really nice. There are the usual scuffs from a piece that was in serv...ice, as well as a small chip on the base, a couple of small nicks along the curved section just above the front skirt and a small nick at the bottom of one of the curved ears. There are a couple of tiny blowout holes that appear to have occurred during the original glazing process and some spots that were definitely not cleaned up before the glazing. A nice crude piece which gives this insulator some character. There is no visible embossing so I do not know who manufactured this insulator but it resembles some of the THOMAS porcelains that I have (only a assumption on my part).
The second Roman Helmet is a nice glossy white insulator with a few minor scuffs and baked on dirt from being in service. The inside skirt has some type of baked on grey cement substance that may or may not clean off. When displaying, this cannot be seen. There is no visible embossing so I do not know who manufactured this insulator.
The photos were taken outside in natural light without direct sun light to better judge the actual color. You may see the colors differently than I do. As for mentioning all of the minor flaws, I feel it is only honest to point out all flaws even those that may not seem significant. Bids on these beautiful insulators will start at $2.99 and will ship in a USPS Priority Flat Rate Medium Box with a shipping cost of $14.50 (new postal rate as of 1-27-2019). If you feel that the shipping costs are too high please do not bid. Postal prices are what they are and Priority Mail is the best and fastest way to get a package sent in a fast way. Bidding will only be accepted from those within the United States of America. Thanks for looking, Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!
