Stylized GA on (reverse skirt), L'Electro Verre (front skirt). I'm told that this insulator was actually jobbed out to another French glass manufacturer who embossed it with the end user. Gardy (spelling) is the name that comes to mind. Interesting to note the stylized "G" looks strangely similar to the backwards "G' found on the scarce Zicme radio strains! Perhaps a coincidence or did they buy an old French strain mold? If so, this could prove the origins of the mold Zicme used to make its radio antenae strain. Zicme was very intentional with the molds they used for producing their insulators. So either they bought a used mold to make their strains and didn't' notice the marking or they had a contract with an electrical contractor who wanted this marking on it. To see the Zicme strain's embossing [id=185048652]. [IFONA CD 690] |
