Item: 10 Description: U-981 “Elliott Hat”. This threadless insulator is one of the first porcelain pin-type insulators ever made. Ezekiel B. Elliott designed this, and a couple other styles, that were made by Fenton Porcelain as early as 1850. They were used on early telegraph lines in Boston, the northeastern U.S., and eastern Canada. The factory was located in Bennington, VT and these are sometimes called Bennington’s, or Fenton’s or Elliott’s. This example is Grade C for a skirt fracture shown in View 2, View 3 & View 4. Note in View 4 how out-of-round the threadless pin hole is. Estimate: $400 - $500 Open: $250 Price realized: $600 |
