Here's a rare porcelain no-tie multipart insulator with the top piece glazeweld together. This is a very cool and unusual style insulator found in Belgium but made by Norden Porzellanfabriken in Copenhagen, Denmark. Maker is unmarked but has characteristic XXX markings along top wire groove and edges- a common feature unique to this manufacturer. Measures 2 1/8" x 3 1/4". Notice the crown has a step that is higher on one side over the other. The upper slot is shaped like a "V" to prevent cable slippage- similar to other rare no-tie insulators from circa 1900 transition period. Pinhole is 7/16" wide and only threaded half way into the pinhole and the rest is threadless.

Has 2 large hard to see chips (when displayed)- one on the underside of the top umbrella and the other on the base. One of the no-tie openings has a small chip and some light flaking on both ends. One "Y" shaped hairline that extends from the inner skirt over the base and up the outer skirt about 1/4". Has 3-4 small factory made skirt surface glaze cracks. Sounds rough but what a killer piece! First and only one of these I've ever seen.

First email gets this killer rare no-tie insulator for only $700 shipped. Thanks!
