Hi, I'm new to this...I was wondering if anyone out there knew if this insulator is worth all the time and effort I'm putting into it since I got it the other day! What I do know: It's embossed with a 'B' inside an 'O' or a circle--dimensions: 14" TOP, 9" MIDDLE, 11" BOTTOM, 8.75" HEIGHT--it is heavy, at least 30 pounds--a great silvery black color on top and an orangey brown the rest of the way down with a lot of runs--- I'm anxious to hear from anybody about this--good, bad or indifferent---thanks! P.S. If any other pictures are needed (Other angles, closeups, etc.) please let me know!

ANSWER: Thanks to Elton Gish for his helpful information he passed along to me...This is an Ohio Brass insulator made in the 1920's to early 1930's. Unfortunately, it is missing it's bottom skirt; it used to be a 4-part insulator comparable to an M-4326. Thanks to all who checked it out...I'm still deciding if I even want to keep it or not...stayed tuned for potential sales information!
