Dave Fleishman and I were scrounging around our electrical providers disposal yard when we found these beauties. A pin type porcelain power piece with metal cap. Only markings are on the metal cap, comprised of some numbers on one side of the cap and separately, the letters GWP. These are very similar in style / shape to the suspension bells which were removed from service due to excessive wind resistance. I have never seen this style insulator in service, nor have I ever seen a picture of anything similar. Does anyone on ICON remember seeing similar insulators or possibly have pictures available. Your comments will be appreciated. Robin Harrison, any further news on the one you have???
