Okay color experts, here we go again. If i ask for help on the color, I`ll get ten different answers. I say teal and it is leaning towards the green. That said, here is a description of the piece. The embossing is "PATENTED. JUNE. 17. 1890" There is a rather small sliver chip on the corner of one ear, otherwise the insulator is in beautiful condition. $40 plus shipping.
