Another color that is tough to describe! This piece was located in 1970 on an old fire alarm line in Taunton, MA by Joe Maurath, Jr. and Phil Harding. Joe originally spotted this piece (among other great stuff still in the air then!) and without wasting time his good collecting buddy (Phil) who was a well-seasoned utility lineman, swapped this insulator out. Joe and Phil canvassed southeastern Massachusetts for good glass between 1969 and 1971 and were able to liberate some spectacular insulators for their collections. Joe still has all of his share and the best of them with their stories/history are being presented here!
