Item: 28 Description: CD 1038 Cutter (030) Dark Aqua. These insulators were mounted on trees (and occasionally poles) as shown in View 5. Tie wires went through the “eyes” to hold the insulator to the trees; and the telephone wire rested in the spade-shaped groove. View 4 shows the embossing. A steam curl rises from one eye and curves with the shape of the insulator. See View 6. Grade B: The View 2 profile shows a smaller chip at the bottom left and a larger chip below the “eye” on the right. There’s a third chip shown at the lower right corner in View 3. These insulators were crudely formed and used in harsh conditions. Some amount of damage is found on nearly every example. Make sure to check out all six views.
