This isn't your usual strain or guy wire insulator, it's the only one like it I have seen or was able to find intact. one of the spools has a hairline crack and I did wire brush the iron to remove the surface rust, but this thing has survived in the harsh Colorado mountain weather since 1901. A heavy piece as well, $28 ppd. US or trade for glass.
